Hi Everyone
I have to say - This has been the BEST holiday season that we have had in a long while . Not a thought has been given to our old lives with our children - In fact, I'm am just grateful that I am feeling better after two serious health issues - back to back - including one that landed me in the ER last week. I am just glad to be here, to be in relatively good health and to be here - in our wonderful home, able to enjoy time with my husband and our dogs.
I would like to wish each and every one of you a happy holiday season and best wishes for a healthy and happy new year. Personally, I cannot WAIT for 2016 to be over.
Take Care T.K.

Topi, Glad to hear you are feeling better but sad that you had to experience that. I hope that you remain in good health for many years. Holidays were very quiet here which is a good thing. Sometimes I wonder if it is a good thing and get tempted to compare our quiet time to that of others who have the parties and dinners and many guests. But then I remind myself to be grateful for our peaceful time here. (When I was a kid, there were a lot of chaotic holidays because of issues that were my parents. Issues such as alcoholism and mental illness. I do know that having a peaceful holiday is a good thing.) So last weekend was good, quiet and peaceful. I had a nice conversation with my mother-in-law on the phone on Christmas. I do wish we lived closer to her so that it would be easier to get together but I am happy that we can have a good conversation even without an in-person visit. She is 89 now. I hope this upcoming year is a good one for us all.

We too had a peaceful holiday, and I will take peace any time over chaos and wounded feelings. The holidays times of days gone by, were often peppered with both, and lots more! lol Peace is good! I am happy you had a good conversation with your MIL Boots..I really think that generation is comforting, I write every so often to our neighbor in London who's the same age. There was a lot of "common sense" that is comforting in our exchanges, totally a thing of past. Buon Anno to us all, good health and serenity.
