~ MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ~


WOW
SANTA CAME LAST NIGHT ~~

Merry Christmas Everyone! Santa made his rounds last night all over the world... The boys here in Florida woke us at 0730 this morning, wild eyed and ready . . . to see if Santa had arrived in the night! The first clue was a good sign indeed... the peanut butter cookies and milk were GONE, all gone, with crumbs on the floor which the dogs immediately took care of with great delight!

And then to our wondering eyes we looked ... and with great delight and screams.... there were presents under the tree!!!! YIPPEE!!!

Kamryn immediately began to search and dig, finding presents and distributing gifts to all. The age old tradition a bit changed this year; this year Kamryn under the tree reading and giving presents to all. Coffee was brewing; the excitement mounts, music blaring... we're ready!!!

Wishing you and yours the best Christmas day ... Whether with family or apart; whether alone this year or mobbed with tradition, take care of you and those you love. Hold tight memories of holidays past; each reminder of beauty once known.

Know in your soul that this day will find its moments of profound joy and profound sadness, but it is how you choose to live it that really matters; it is what you choose to do with your day that really counts.

I wish you enough.

I would like to let you know that everyone I have encouraged to read your blogs has been helped...though by different blogs on different days. I thank you for the part about "profound sadness & profound joy." I needed to hear that both feelings can actually exist in a 24 hour period. I believe I speak for many who not only survived Christmas...but may have even thrived some. Though you may not see lots & lots of comments...FB people are messaging about the blogs and sharing their thoughts. We know you had a Merry Christmas and are grateful!

Merry Christmas to you & your family too.
Taken a lot of lessons that you taught us on how to survie the Holidays and found that they work--made it through another year without. Thank you for all your care.
