I just wanted to express my feelings about the season and life in general.

I’d like to start off by wishing everyone at Axiom and at this forum the best of the best. I hope this season brings you much happiness and the New Year exceeds your expectations.

Sorry to sound so “Pollyannaish” but my life in the past year has really turned around and it seems to have given me a real jolt of optimism.

A few of you know that a year ago I lost my mother and then two months later my wife of 30+ years passed away. To say the least I was devastated and in a deep depression.

I’m lucky enough to have stunning friends, both in the real world and online, (Jack especially). They made sure that I had support and love. I took each day at a time and worked at trying to see the positive things in life.

This August I met a woman and we started dating. It was with very mixed feelings as you can well imagine but over the last few months things have gotten a lot better for me and I’m lucky to be able to say that at the advanced, ...well compared to most on this forum \:\) age of 62 I’m back in love and feel that I very much have a bright future.

Feeling this way I just wanted to express my thoughts to all of you and wish you the best that this season can bring. No matter how you celebrate it, please enjoy it.

And thank you all for your entertaining and interesting posts this year.


Wayne

Wayne, I am very happy for you! It's so good to hear that you are doing well and have found a new relationship.

And, I'd like to extend my warmest holiday wishes to you and to all the Axiom board members, friends and all, that make this forum such a nice place to visit and hang out.

Cheers, everyone! \:\)

Wishing you and yours (and all here on the Axiom boards)a very safe and happy Christmas.
During this special time of year let’s not forget the less fortunate, particularly the children of the world.

Happy Holidays to all!!!

Yes, happy holidays to everyone, and the best in the New Year. May all your New Year's resolutions/wishes come true!! I've never wished that I could walk again (it will never happen), nor do I care, but I figure what the heck I'm going to take this whole walkie thing one step at a time. So my New Year's resolution is that I will be able to wiggle my right great toe by the end of 2009!!

Wish me luck everyone

Wayne (and all),

The merriest Christmas, Hanukkah, Quanza, whatever to all of you. This board is great, and I am very thankful to have been able to discuss audio/video/life with all of you over the last year.

Wayne, I am very happy that you have found companionship. It must have been very hard losing your wife after all of those years together. I don't think I would be able to deal with something as devastating as that...

Happy Holidays to all of you... What a great bunch of guys and gals to be associated with.

Steve

Wayne, I cannot tell you how encouraged I am to hear your news. I am so happy for you. What you experienced last year would've destroyed me. Hearing that you made it through, and have now emerged in such good shape, is joyous.

To all, I hope this holiday season is full of love, happiness, and peace of mind. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks for sharing Wayne. As I learned the hard way, it can take a while to recover from some of the blows life deals us.

Merry Christmas all.
