Hello everyone who shares this blog with me. I can’t believe Christmas is 7 days away. The time is flying by. My shopping is almost done and thanks to Lindsey my wrapping is caught up. I am tired alt lately since the time change. I wake up and it’s dark and after a nap in the afternoon it’s dark. Pretty hard to feel awake much during the day. I. Can’t wait till we turn the clocks ahead in March. Today is my oldest daughter’s birthday and Lindsey’s was the 13h of December. All these special days remain my milestones to stay alive for. Next is Christmas and then New Years in Coventry. Each year we rent the same house in Coventry on this Equestrian farm.if you have followed my blog you will know the exact house I am referring to. I love this place and was able to ride my last horse in this location. I can’t wait to white about it in January when we come back. For now I just wanted to take a few moments to wish my daughters happy birthday wishes. So happy to share another birthday with these girls. Jen is away but the day is still bright because of her. The Bragas are going to mi their first Christmas with the family. It will not be easy but they are safe and healthy and will be back for π Christmas next year. They will be greatly missed. The new babies are growing fast and this will be their first year in Coventry. They sure do change the dynamics is Sunday dinners. So fun. I can’t wait to tell you all about our Christmas and New Years family gatherings in January. For now I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and ask you to share with others less fortunate. I will continue to share as long as I remain here. Let the New year be a time of good changes where possible. There is no better time for changes than now. There is always room for more time for family and great memories if WE choose to make it happen. The fact that I have the opportunity to continue to communicate with all of you for my third Christmas after my diagnosis confirms that miracles exist in life. Relax, pay it forward and spread some π love and I will promise your π‘ holiday will be as bright and giving as I am experiencing. Love and happiness to all of you. Looking so forward to updating you in January.
Merry Christmas to YOU and your whole family! You are such an inspiration and I always look forward to your updates!!
This is my first Christmas completely retired and I am completely enjoying the holiday season this year. It’s so important to stop and think about what we have and to also think about those who we can give back to and I have done that this year. I have helped to contribute to toy drives and donated to organizations to help them as well.
