    Re: One Step at a Time - December 2017

    Oh Liz - I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. You've had so much happening this year - you must be emotionally exhausted! Sending my hugs. :hug:

        Hello everyone. Finished wrapping and now I'm going to sit back. It has been nice to see friends beautiful Christmas homes on Facebook. Such beautiful decorations. I love it. Not the way it is in my life at all but I love seeing it.
        We have such a hodgepodge of decorations. It makes me laugh. We have a Nativity scene, a dead Christmas tree, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer toys, a Charlie Brown Christmas tree and other assorted snowmen and Santa's around. But, it is home filled with love & laughter and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

          Hodgepodge is lovely Nora! Our tree used to be decorated like the the ones in the store, pretty and uniform and all. Now the ornaments on the tree are a collection of things we have acquired throughout the years. Each one is special and has a memory. I wouldn't have it any other way either!

            Sitting back and watching ‘The Santa Clause’ again. I love that movie.

            Liz – I’m so sorry to hear about your Dad. I just wish that I could give you a big hug and let you cry on my shoulder. I can imagine that you are frustrated when your Mom won’t let you help and you see how upset she is. I hope that he has a better day tomorrow.

            Mom hasn’t been feeling well but nothing specific. Just 90 years old I think. She doesn’t get that it’s Christmas time. Even with the tree and all the other decorations. When she saw me wrapping the presents, she would ask if it was someone’s birthday. I’d explain that it’s Christmas and she would be so shocked. This went on whenever she noticed what I was doing. Sort of sad to me because how much she loved Christmas. Oh, how she decorated and everything was gorgeous. Erin is so lucky that she took after you. It totally skipped over me. It used to really bother me that I didn’t have that ‘eye’ for decorating. But, I guess I finally accepted myself the way I am. Ha, ha.

            Glassie – I can’t wait to hear some exciting news from G2. Yippee. I hope that you all have a wonderful time with HRH. Christmas with children makes it all perfect. We are having a very quiet Christmas Eve. Just the 3 of us. On Christmas, J&C and her sister & 2 daughters are coming over. 6 years old (7 on the 30th) and a 5 month old. I can’t wait.

            This is the first year that I didn’t do a stocking for my son. Actually, the first year in all of our marriage that we didn’t do stockings. Makes me want to run out and do it.
            But, I was talking to son a couple days ago. He was talking about how he is getting all the gifts for the stockings for them. He said how special it always was to him and she never had that. He wants to give her that tradition.

            Rusty – your bathroom sounds amazing. I’m really happy that you will be able to do that. But, only if you don’t get overwhelmed. I never got a chance to reply to your post. I give you a big hug for apologizing to that woman. I have been meaning to tell you that I thought that was really great of you. And yes I totally know what you mean about thinking you’re going to get caught up and then something else happens.

              I thought I was going to be back tonight but it didn't happen. Looks like a whirlwind went thru here. But, I'll clean it up in the morning. It's definitely not going to go anywhere.

              I hope that everyone is having a wonderful season filled with love & laughter. :heartbeat:

                Thanks Nora

                Funnily enough, this year my home and tree look pretty much like they're from a magazine, but I was just as happy when the tree was covered in decorations made out of macaroni and paper plates.

                Also, there's no point trying to be a snob in my house - I just spent half an hour looking for my phone and finally found it *strong language warning*

                under the cat's arse. :hahaha:


                Sorry - that's an Aussie thing

                    Good morning and Merry Christmas! We celebrate this evening. I am excited to see how Logan takes this all in. I must admit I am happy it's us a small group tonight. I don't want to share my grandson ;-)
                    Wishing you all a very happy and yes sober holiday!

                      Well my day started well. I went out to buy ice at 5.30 this morning and locked my keys in the car! (Probably my punishment for my bad language yesterday). I know it's a bit early but Happy Christmas everyone!

                                Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                                Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                                Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.
