Harley... I know just what you're sayin... Sometimes, with all the hype, it just don't seem as "special" as it once was... Too commercial maybe... It used to be special when all the family gathered, some from away off.... Only time I'd see them... Transportation wasn't as good back then... Telephones had "long distance" charges, so you didn't even get to talk to them as much... Mainly just by a letter...

Now the holidaze just reminds me of all those wonderful people, my family, that are no longer with me... And that bums me out... I try to shake off those grimm feelings, but being the "manic" I am, it sometimes gets the better of me....
But hey... We still have our family here and that may make a big difference for me this year
( if you don't mind me whining a bit) ...

Oh yeah... Thanks ~Kona~ for the good wishes for my buddy... Man he needs all the prayers and good vibes he can get right about now... They haven't done anything yet (as of this mornin), but it isn't lookin very good for him right about now... But he was jokin about the situation when last I spoke to him.... He said,"Man... Now I gotta go get a tattoo on my arm that say 'Stupmy'!" now what do you say to him after a comment like that?!.... I don't know what the hell I'd be doin... I guess he's more of a man than I'd be.... Anyhooo... Thanks my friend....

Good Morning All

I am up and ready to run out the door here shortly and start my day.

I hope everyone has a good day today and Linville, please don't be thinking of hospitals. They scare me!

Rose, I wish I had the talent to make wreaths such as you are. I tried once and put it up on the door and within a day all that was left was the wire frame and Red Bow. Guess I didn't get the securing the boughs quite right.

I have to be honest and tell you all that I really don't like the holiday season at all personally. I think I've said this before. This year is extremely hard for me and I am going to have to watch myself as I don't get depressed, but go inside myself a bit and I get aggravated a bit more easily. Sigh, I look forward to December just going on by......... I smile my way through Holiday Events if I need to attend them.

Okay that was off track and sorry about that.

I hope everyone has a safe and pain free day filled with lots of Sunshine in your heart.
