Hot Cocoa Festival Quest and Marshmallow Collection Mission

(Above, just a reminder of how cute Seaside can be)

Note from Freyashawk:  

I wish all of you the very best this life has to offer.  We connect through an online world, and I have become increasingly aware of all the burdens our neighbours are forced to bear.  Above all, please be kind in 2026.  There is so much injustice and grief in the real world and Seaside should be able to provide a little sanctuary and reapite from that.

I continue to update this site now mainly for my dear neighbours and friends and all those who find a little guide helpful.   In this past momth alone, so mamy have borne the loss of loved ones, disease, illness and other serious issues. 

The New Year should be a time of joy so let us all take a moment to bring the best we have to offer, whether in a prayer or heartfelt wish, to the 'table' of life.  May 2026 be a better year than 2025.  May our hopes not be illusions, and may there be Peace that serves justice and brings real change for the better to those who have suffered through unimaginable horrors, loss,  grief and pain.

Let us support one another even if all we can do is perform little acts or words of kindness.

I continue to update this site in the hope that it does help a few people enjoy Seaside a little more.  The game is becoming far too large.  I am ill again.   I could not even complete the recent Activity.  My game crashes almost every time I try to go to my Cloud Farm.  There is a lot of useful information on this site, but I know there are new Cloud techs and I have not been in a position to publish a post about those yet.

I want to thank all those who sent me their good wishes in the game.  It reminded me once more how much people need personal connections and sometimes a little lifeline.  May we stand together at least in friendship.  A kind word is worth a great deal and for all those who feel alone or abandoned for whatever reason, it can make all the difference in the world sometimes.

In any event, Happy New Year (Solar Calendar).

On the 2nd day of 2026, I want to remember a brave man, a man who no longer lives, but who left these words:

'If I must die,

You must live

To tell my tale,

To sell my things

To buy a piece of cloth,

And some string.

(Make it white with a long tail)

So that a child

Somewhere in Ghazza

While looking heaven in the eye,

Awaiting his father who left in a blaze,

(And could bid no farewell,

Not even to his own flesh,

Not even to himself...)

Sees my kite,

The kite you made, 

Flying up above,

And for a moment thinks that an angel flies there,

Bringing back love.

If I must die,

Let it be hope,

Let it be a tale.'

A poem by Refaat Alareer, deceased.

He was a scholar, a teacher, a poet and a father.

(May there be hope and love in 2026)
