Hello Everyone:

Getting through this wonderful season is more difficult than I had anticipated. Treasured memories make it just a tiny bit easier, but it will never be the same.

But I did want to stop by and wish everyone a Merry Christmas filled with all the blessings of this special time, and a Happy New Year filled with good health and happiness.

And to quote one of my favorite Christmas songs............"may your days be merry and bright"!

{{{shorelady}}} I've been wondering how you have been. The first of any holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc. seems to be the worst. I can't tell you it will get better or when, but when you don't have the experience in a situation it can seem like such a dark, long, lonely road. But there are some twinkling of lights here and there; try to see them as you carry on. Those will be memories and little bits of hope - hang onto them and know you can do this in your own time.

Harlene: I know all too well about the losing and regaining. I know you can do what you need to with your DH's support, and ours here when ever you need it. I have the same battle to face myself, but haven't been able to make a start. Hope you'll enjoy the holidays, and not worry about it until they're over.

We've had a couple of nice relaxing days over the weekend, and yesterday DH and I did some errands, and went to a VA appointment he had out of town. The sun shone bright for the first time in a few weeks, and it was a very welcome sight. Today I'm getting done what I can for our family celebration tomorrow night. My family will come for supper, and may attend mass at our church. DH and I will go on Christmas day instead, as it's too much for us all in one day with company and everything.

Have fun finishing up whatever preparations you may have left, if any. Have a wonderful Christmas! I'll probably post tomorrow, but want to wish everyone a blessed, joyous day just in case I can't get here.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!!! Hugs, pinky

Good afternoon!

I'm finally getting a chance to post. Since our son has been home I am out of my daily routine. He has taken the 2 grandsons out for lunch so I thought I'd take advantage of the peace and quiet.

I hope everyone is having a good day. I haven't read what everyone has written but I will get to it.

Trying to wrap up...no pun intended...lol...last minute Christmas things. I am going to make some fudge later today and a carrot cake. That's my plan.

My maternal Grandmother loved poetry. She had it all over her house up on the walls, kitchen to bathroom. Years ago, a cousin of mine sent me a photo album full of poems Grandma had collected throughout the years. Grandma wrote little things on some of them, such a precious item to me.

This is one of the items she kept. It seems that it is an insert from their church bulletin.

Have a great day and I will talk to y'all later.

Hello everyone here at the positive thread! It's a good thing we have this for the week as I wasn't able to do anything here until now - we arrived in Texas around 3:30 in the afternoon on Monday and it's been busy ever since. Went shopping with Darla soon afterwards for groceries, and we had pizza for supper and sometime last night late Greg got this tablet hooked up to wi fi. This morning after breakfast went shopping with the girls - lots of stores - tiring but fun being with my two girls. Christmas in Texas! Green grass, no snow, Christmas lights all around, spactular displays, even on the green grass! We looked at some last night - just us girls, but tonight we'll be seeing a whole display of them, all around their neighborhood. Linus and the girls are now shopping for Christmas lights for Darla's house outside, hes making a little display for her. Greg is working - at home, but he's working. Thank you all for your posts here - I read them all, and Harlene, that was tough news, hang in there and don't think for one minute you'll have a hard time losing the weight - it'll come off, and you have all of us here rooting for you and praying for you. Take care and God bless you! I'll try to be back again tomorrow. This tablet is working out well that way! Nice early Christmas gift!

Gloria, glad you and Linus arrived safely. Have a great Christmas with your girls.

Blessings and Merry Christmas to all here. May there be peace on earth. Jesus came as a babe for our sins. Have a joyous day tomorrow.

Merry Christmas Eve! Little cat has had me up for hours already, so I'm nearly done with things until my family arrives. Just touch ups in the kitchen and baths, and then to get myself ready. It's pouring here,and 45 degrees a few hours ago. So unusual, but how nice is that? Sending you all good wishes today, and hope during your day you'll have time to just sit and reflect, and feel the Christmas spirit! Hugs, pinky
