Season’s Greetings
to all of you from all of us
ere at the Western Cowman.

With the holidays just around the corner I wanted to take just a moment to convey my heartfelt thanks to our advertisers and readers, while the year has been tough on just about everyone it would seem that despite what the folks in
Washington do and don’t do we all continue hang in there.

 What I’ve come away with this past year is how resilient we all can be when facing difficult circumstances. Your letters, e-mails, and phone conversations have left a lasting and momentous impression on me, words cannot express what an honor I feel it is to be working with the Western Cowman readership.

I’ve learned a lot these past few months and I have to share with you that some of the best lessons have been from the puppy (pictured) that came into my life this past spring. She’s kept me on my toes, taught me a lot about forgiveness, and never ceases to make me smile. Zion has been instrumental this past year in always being able to pick up my spirits. So I recommend to all of you take some time outs with those four legged family members, you’ll both come away a lot happier. A belly rub, a scratch behind the ears, and a kind word works wonders for everyone.

As the year folds to a close my wish for all of you is that your celebrations be filled with moments of laughter and love, that your gifts be of kindness and caring tied together with a renewal of hope and faith as we enter the trail that takes us towards 2010.

Thanks for sharing the trail with us this past year….Happy Holidays
