		<description>Sarah,
When I logged into Wordpress today, a link to your entry "I Gave My Love…" was at the top of the page as "Blog of the Minute." I must confess that I clicked mostly because of the adorable image of a pony with wings. :) Anyway, I liked the poem and decided to visit the rest of the blog.

I'm glad I did. I read the next four posts and decided that I really needed to leave a comment to tell you that I appreciated everything. This Christmas season I've had a "change of heart" and it's encouraging to hear about other's experiences, real or fiction. (Another one of those non-coincidences. I once heard someone say, "there are no coincidences, only God-incidences.")

And your writing is wonderful. As a writer myself (you wouldn't know it by my blog), I want to let you know that in all those posts, I was pulled along by your content and hardly even stopped to think about the writing itself. (I have a hard time reading anything that makes me edit every other line in my head.) ;)

Sorry about the long comment, but like I said, I really wanted to let you know that I was touched. You'll be on my blogroll in the next five minutes or so. :-)

Thanks for being online,
~ Tolana

P.S. My blog is lame. I think one co-worker reads it, and that's the audience I usually have in mind when I post. Just wanted to make that disclaimer in case you visit. ;-)

&lt;strong&gt; Tolana, what a sweet and unexpected christmas gift you have given me with these comments. i'm so glad you decided to stay for a visit. as you can probably tell i love christmas and i would probably write about it all year long if anyone would stand for it. how wonderful tht you've had a real life change of heart, i am so happy for you. and i think you're right, things do happen for a reason.

i will be on my way to visit your blog.

thank you so much for your sweet comments and merry christmas.
