The holidays are upon us and the world is crazier than ever . . .

I hope each and every one of you is managing as well as you can in this horrible time of turmoil.

May the memories of your loved ones passed comfort and keep you through the days.


Thank you for being a part of this very special group. It goes without saying, I wish we didn't have to have this group but I and many others have taken great solace in knowing it's here for us all.

I would like to wish you ALL a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.

sincerely and with love.

kesha.

thank you for your loving wishes and thoughts
thank you for being here

i'm listening to someone (johnny mathis?) singing 'i'll be home for christmas' on the tonight show on the tv in the next room

that's my christmas wish for all of us--that those we love so dearly will be home with us on christmas and let us know that indeed they truly are.

take care.

Since I don't live near any of my family anymore Christmas is so very bittersweet for me.

I have to be really guarded because the tears come at the most inappropriate time, like when I'm at work. So I tend to smile and nod and say "fine thanks" when asked how I am.

I'm tired of feeling and being ill and I'll be so glad when all is right again, it will be right again, won't it (silly question)

I love each and every one of you and wish and hope for only the best.




Happy Christmas

for me. All my family (except for my son)is back in Dallas . I so wanted to be there with them this Christmas but no one is up to it so.. I just pray my mom will be around for another one.
Those songs all make me cry so I try not to listen to them. I cry too easily I guess.
Anyway I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I hope this new year will be a better one for everyone !

It's raining in Dallas this morning and will switch over to snow this afternoon. Up here in Gainesville, we are supposed to get 2-4" snow today! Won't that be nice? Got the fire in the wood stove roaring this morning. Hope you and yours have a nice holiday.
