Once again the time is here. The end of the year is drawing near. I am having a little difficulty wrapping myself around that thought that in just about a month from now I would have been doing this for 2 years! Two years; it's somewhat surreal.
I know that by now I'm sounding like a broken record but I will say it again; I can also assure you that it won't be the last. Just in case you haven't noticed, I am a very appreciative person. So let me get on with it; I am grateful to each and every single individual who takes the time to visit my little corner on this vast World Wide Web.
It is the Holidays and my wish for all of you, including your family, loved ones, friends, confidantes, buddy, pals, etc, etc, is that it's filled with love, joy, peace and happiness. May the warmth of the Season permeate through every household; through every heart whether you celebrate Christmas or not.
When the New Year rolls around may it hold for you the most prosperous, generous and bountiful opportunities. I wish you every success for the coming year 2010.


May your cupboards always have food to eat, may your friends always be there when you need them, in the event the one door closes may another open with much more advantages than the one just closed.

My uttermost wish of all is that we all be kinder to one another; lend a hand when to someone indeed; speak a kind word for it might be all that's needed to brighten someone's day; offer a shoulder to cry on; be courteous under extenuating circumstances; find a way to make someone else's day just a bit better.

The world is filled with so many ills. Make a pledge to be that person to make a difference daily just by being a little kinder.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and the Most BRIGHT, PROSPEROUS AND SUCCESSFUL 2010!!!


Please allow me some space and time to issue a heart-felt "Thank You" to all who visit Slym Pickings. Ah heck, one thank you just doesn't seem enough (it must be this Xmas bug or something that goes around this time of year) so "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You".

Thank you for browsing. Thank you for just passing through. Thank you for staying a while sometimes. Thank you for not just coming once but for returning. Thank you for taking time to look around. Thanks most of all for your comments and moreover your e-mails.

And when I say thanks for your comments, I mean every single one of them whether pro or con; they are sincerely appreciated. I appreciate you all.

It would be very remiss and truly ungrateful of me if I did not take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you the happiest of holidays: HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL! If you celebrate at this time, I wish you the happiest and most enjoyable season. If you don't, I wish you a very stress-free time as others celebrate.

And when the New Year rolls around, may each and every one of your dreams come true. May you have the conviction and motivation to stick to those New Year's resolutions. May the new year be a much better one than this one has been. May it be kinder to you and yours. May it bring you the things that you need. May you be more comforted.

Throughout it all, let us not forget to be the very best that we kind be. May be all be kinder to each other. We don't need a New Year or Holiday Season to do this. It is the only way to make this world a better place. It is a sure way for each individual to make a significant difference in this messed up world that we live it.

I wish you love, I wish you joy, I wish you peace and I wish you success.

Slym Pickings will take a break during this season and return in the New Year (don't cry, it's ok, it will be back before you know it).

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR WHEN IT ROLLS AROUND - Slym
