Well Christmas is almost here again and I am prepared as the stockings are hung and the presents are wrapped. Soon the house will be filled with laughter of my children as we are starting the celebrations early. I have to say it has been a happy and fun Christmas season as we have spent time with friends and relatives.
We are suppose to get snow for Christmas morning and today the flurries were falling. Some us will see a white Christmas and some will dream of one. I hope your dreams come true.
Despite all the tragic things that have happened this year across the
US, I am hoping that we all will have a peaceful and safe holiday
season. It would be wonderful if the love and caring that people have during the holidays was present everyday. Just think of what a wonderful life it would be.
No matter where you are I am wishing everyone a blessed and Merry Christmas!
Life is beautiful !

My Favorite Things
It is so sad to talk about all the things that have happened this year. The news media has done quite the job of letting us know about all the natural disasters, our screwed up politics, and how much disrespect and bullying of humans has been going on for many years. It seems to happen when we become greedy and powerful. No wonder we have so many adults living with depression, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness to ever get a head in life. Perhaps we have reached some kind of epiphany and we all need to take some etiquette classes about morals and respect of each other. We need to do this for our children and future generations.
So this year for me personally has been a year of letting go of the past. Loosing Laney has had such a profound affect on my husband and I. We feel her loss every day. If dogs ran the world it would be a much kinder place. I hold her love in my heart and every time something happens to disrupt our life I remember the wonderful things she taught me. The greatest gift she gave was unconditional love and loyalty.
We are accepting our empty nest and realizing that we are free to come and go at whatever hour we wish. It is quite sad at first when the house is silent but it is also a great feeling of accomplishment that we have been able to experience all of the wonderful things that life brings. We raised two great children that are now off with their spouses creating their life of memories.
The world goes on and our new adventures are coming as a new year is almost here. A new baby on the way as my nephew becomes a dad and then to follow a bundle of joy for my husband and I. Yes we are going to be grandparents and we are feeling very blessed. We have survived parenthood and now we get to have fun spoiling the grandchildren. The house again will be filled with the pitter patter of little feet and laughter.
I do wish Laney could have been here to enjoy all the excitement.. She will always be with me.
Happy Holidays !!
Life is beautiful !
