Good Morning, Happy Saturday !!
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to be off work today-with the weeks... start again, stop again (with holidays), I find it difficult to remember what day it is
I can savor my memories of 2007 for a day or two longer
to be delighted to enter the year 2008
for all the Blessings and Grace I have been given
to grow older with Precious. We are both slowing down a bit
the possibility of getting an A.M. shift again in the near future-somthing more "normal" and the opportunity to be available for Church service work on the Events Team
that Barbara is still holding her own with her infection. The Antibiotics have worked thus far
for my friends and loved ones with whom I look forward to being with in the year ahead
for RCIA starting again this Thursday evening. I've missed everyone and the lessons
for the cold, damp day - why not?
I will be 58 early this new year. 58 is the new 38 !! SWEET
God's Grace
thank YOU

Is it 2008 yet ?????
What happened. Time flew and now it's standing still.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to be sober, clean and smoke-free another day
that the cold weather feels soooooo good
that I got my car fixed this morning. Had a generator light on - nothing major
that tomorrow is Friday
that the holidays will be over for a while soon
these broken work weeks are getting tiring
for Precious
that I know better than to tease any animal

Well, good day for the ducks !
I am staying in my end of town today. It's supposed to get very cold in a couple of hours.
Today, I am Grateful and Thankful for/that...
I have lovely Christmas memories this morning
I'm not having to beg for alms today
I'm not in a hospital today
I'm not living on the street today
I'm not having to ride a bus to get around today
my family is not all deceased today
New Years Eve has not been a "big deal" to me for years now. I'm usually fast asleep before the ball drops in NYC
my family's business is closed from Christmas Eve until January 2nd - enjoy your time off !
for the gift of Miss Beulah's Pieta statue replica - Thank you John and Janice !
fond memories of Christmas' past (when we were ALL here)

What a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day !!
Good company, good food, good music, goodwill and good weather.
Started Christmas Eve working. Ended with awesome music at Church and Midnight Mass.
Visited with a friend in the hospital late morning. Met a couple of her friends who came to visit also. Talked a bit regarding different topics, rearranged some of her presents so she could view them and had a nice time.
Went by the Lambda Center and got a cup of coffee, cookie and kissed a few frinds and made merry.
Went to have dessert at my sister's. My Nephew and Niece were there with their 4 childeren.
Had a wonderful time watching the kids do their "thing", talked and laughed and kicked back.
The kids all liked their stuffed Zoo Animals that I got them. Each different, all cute as can be. I scored on that Christmas ! I included a photo of the real animal with each stuffed animal.
Julia got the Maned Wolf
Hunter got the Meerkat
Lucy go the Snowy Owl
Ella got the Okapi Giraffe
Lucy wanted Julia's Maned Wolf but that was the only mis-fire we had and that got settled quickly because Lucy is Julia's "little sister" Big sisters know how to diffuse such situations. Julia put the Maned Wolf down the front of her blouse and ran away from Lucy until Lucy got over it.
What a fun and Blessed Christmas I had this year.
My sister and Brother-in-law gave me Miss Beulah's statue of the Pieta that she bought in Rome some years ago. I was and am very touched to have it. As my sister said, none of Beulah's kids are Catholic anymore and she would want you to have it. What a thoughtful gift from two lovely, caring and sentimental people. I will treasure it always.
Merry Christmas !!!!!

Well, Happy Christmas Eve !
Worked from 7:00 am until 3:00 pm, made $ 0.00 money. Had 18 tickets from those entering the building who were visitors, and, had no other activity. A very exciting day (yawn).
The weather pleases me. I hoped for cold weather the two days and nights.
It will be a long night tonight. I am going to hear the music concert at 11:00 pm tonight at church and then attend Midnight Mass.
Tomorrow, will go to 9:00 am Mass then to St. Joseph's Hosp. to visit a friend there for a while.
Then, I'm going by my sister's for pie and coffee and a nice visit at 3:15 pm. What a lovely evening and Christmas Day I have lined up !
Wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day - MERRY CHRISTMAS, I love you.
