Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas!

The month of December is racing away from us and another Christmas season will soon be history.  It has been a gloomy month as far as the weather is concerned.  The sun has made very few appearances, but the temperature hasn't been too bad the last couple of days.  I believe we made it into the fifties for daytime highs.  It would be nice if it continued, but the weatherman said to be prepared for a cold air mass next week.  What Can I say it is winter in the north.

I managed to fill up my social calendar for the month and I have had fun.  It is the season for parties and luncheons with friends and family.  I went last evening to see a place called Clifton Mills.  It was beautiful seeing all the lights and they had a little village with a train station that was suppose to be a replica of the town of Clifton Mills. There are 3.5 million lights at the site.  They started the display 27 years ago and I don't know what took me so long to go see them. 



                   


There is a restaurant in the house and a gift shop.  It was beautiful to see all the lights and I felt like a kid again.   They had a small building with a live Santa working on toys and a museum of vintage toys.  I think I saw some of my old toys there.  LOL! 

There is only one more shopping day left until Christmas and I am happy to say I am done.  The crowds have been awful at the stores and I only imagine they will be worse tomorrow with the last minute shoppers. 

Hope Santa is good to you where ever you are and all your dreams come true.

As for myself, I have the gift of good health and an abundance of love this year. 

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!

Life is beautiful !!

When The Sun Shines It Really Shines

I woke up again this morning to sunshine and I was smiling.  We are suppose to have a nice weekend with more sunshine.  My husband and I rested our heads peacefully last night, because a ray of sunshine had cast its self upon our life.  He came home from work yesterday picked me up, twirled me around, and kissed me.  He was a happy man as he had some good news that was going to alleviate some stress in our life.  This year is going to come to an end with a big smile on our faces.  Possibly it was God's intervention or perhaps a bit of fate or just the way the cards fall.  Whatever it is we were both very happy. 

My hard work that I have put into eating healthy has paid off for both my husband and me.  The doctor was happy for us.  It has also been a year of changing the way we think and practicing gratitude.   I am a believer of change your thoughts change your world.   Change you habits and take care of yourself and you can feel good.  Practice being happy even when things sometimes don't go exactly as planned and world will smile back at you.  I feeling very blessed.   It took some work and effort to get to this peaceful place that I am today, and I have no regrets. 

Sometimes in life we feel unnoticed and we need someone to perhaps not say anything, but take our hand and lead us in the right direction.  Of course we make our own destiny and we are the one that has to say I am worth being heard.  So, I am off on a new adventure tonight filled with love and happiness, because I choose to be.


Life is beautiful !!
