Happy Holidays friends!!

What a festive time of year. For most of us, Thanksgiving was a beautiful time spent with friends and family and lots of food.

Now we all get to look forward to doing that again for Christmas and New Years. I used to dislike the holidays because I thought it was so commercialized and hypocritical with the true meaning behind these Holidays being lost. I now realize that the meaning of these holidays are held dear in your heart. No matter how commercialized it is, if you still have that meaning in your heart, it is a beautiful celebration full of love, compassion, grace, and unity. As with most things, your perception is your reality. That certainly holds true with the Holidays. I hope your perception for the Holidays is a beautiful one.

I have been daydreaming for months about visiting the house we rented in Eluthera, Bahamas right on the beach over Christmas for this year. Apparently, that’s not where we were meant to be this Christmas. Due to a fun night on Thanksgiving weekend spent chasing my boyfriend through the woods on four wheelers, we will be spending our Holiday recovering. I’ll be having surgery and recovering from breaking my right shoulder and he is nursing broken ribs.

See anything wrong with this picture?

The combination of darkness, speed, competitiveness and getting old…. makes it harder to see as well as you can during the day so we both flipped our four-wheelers over a misplaced log 🙁 OUCH!!  I don’t bounce as well as I used to. I’ve been told I need a bubble suit. Lol!  That would’ve been helpful for this past year for sure!  I now get to enjoy my family and friends again this Christmas!  I love that too. I am again just thankful to be here.

This is a picture of my granddaughter Alicia enjoying a yummy pumpkin cupcake at Thanksgiving. How could I leave this sweet thing over Christmas anyway! Notice her multitasking skills??

I wish you all peace and love. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!
