Happy Holidays to all

[Guest guest]

Merry Christmas to you, too Kris.

Hope you and your family will have a nice Holiday.

Our kitten just loves our tree too and the ornaments, man. Amber keeps her room closed at all times, at the first sign of opening, Tedlo makes a B Lne for her little tree.LOL.

You have fun with your kids.

Keep us updated on your surgery and have a blessed Holiday Season...

To My Friends,

Christmas means many different things to all of you, and

pardon me for writing all at once - I am too weak to write

individually, but I wanted to wish all of you a very Happy Holiday

Season. I am so sorry I can't gather the strength to contact all of

you individually, I love you all and wish you well and believe me,

you are each in my thoughts this season. )

I am mostly confined to my new over-stuffed chair, and

ottoman for my horribly disfigured swollen feet. The recliner ''bit

the dust'' 2 days after the new chair arrived <gasp!> perhaps it was

jealous? hee hee. The new carpet and furniture does help cheer me up

greatly since I'm stuck there most of the day. I nap on and off all

day and I'm learning origami and crocheting dresses for Em's 'babies'

and doing other things to try to keep occupied. I am drawing a lot,

trying not to lose my artistic 'touch'.

I am on surprisingly little *oral* medication considering

what disease processes are going on inside this evil, defective body

and brain of mine, though I am confined to a 25foot "leash" lol,

namely my oxygen and/or nebulizer. Unfortunately I am exhausted all

day long and my mind is not very sharp, I feel like I'm in a fog, a

whirlwind, as I watch all the life forces going on around me and feel

them within me, attempting to heal me somehow.

Shortly after the New Year when Dennis can take vacation time

I will be having a gastric bypass surgery, because my weight gain has

greatly worsened some nasty heart and lung problems, which they hope

will be reversable once I lose weight, weight caused by meds that

were supposed to help me get well (no I am not pleased by all this,

it is like watching a stack of dominoes tumble) . I will keep you

all posted on that, not looking forward to YET another abdominal

surgery but the fruits of this one are quite sweet, the *thought* of

being thin has become...well, quite surreal it's been so long lol.

The kids are doing well. is so excited she's incapable

of walking, she bounces and skips about without a care in the world,

it's beautiful to watch her. Koty is, despite the season, your

typical brooding pubescent pain in the...big toe. He's a rat all day

long and then apologises every evening. I grow tired of the cycle of

it all and he will have quite a talking-to this afternoon after I nap

and muster up the energy.

Dennis, well, I have a call in to the Pope, he's been such a

saint. I have not been able to do any shopping whatsoever since we

have no wheelchair. I missed all his Harley Christmas parties too,

c'est la vie, there will be more. Dennis did ALL the shopping, even

specifically enough to pacify the obsessive/compulsive in me. Koty

put the tree up, Dennis did the lights, I did manage to put the

golden garland on though it sucked the life right out of me and took

forever because it has to be "just-so!" The kids both put ornaments

on. No breakable ornaments allowed because of the cat, I'm sure

she'll climb the tree again this year and find a "perch" like last

year. She hasn't gained much weight so I'm not too worried about

the tree falling ass over teakettle....but it would be pretty funny

if it did lol.

I guess this year is a big lesson for me, a lesson showing

me I can and should let others help me when I need them, showing me

that spending time with the family is the most important thing right

now. It shows me I can participate in everything in my own way

dependent upon my abilities and not being able to do something is not

the end of the world. And most of all it has shown me that I am

loved, and I return that love to all of you tenfold. Happy Holidays

to All, with much Love.

Dixie,

What a wonderful report of your trip. I've been waiting for you to get back home

so you could tell us all about it. I bet it was beautiful there and I'm so glad

that your CI made it better without any hitches along the way. You were missed

while you were gone. Happy Holidays to you as well.

Did you check out the website? It's now online.

Hi Dixie,

Happy Holidays to you too. Glad to hear about your river cruise in Germany.

Sounds wonderful! I would love to go on another cruise. Perhaps the

Panama Canal. Interested?

Regards,

Happy Holidays to All

Hello Dear Friends,

I haven't been online much; I've been quite sick with a virus since

just after Thanksgiving; and because I continue to drain myself with my

crazy and busy life; I don't get the rest; etc. that I need to get

better quick. I apologize for not being active on the list; but I

really need to start to feel better soon.

I wish you and your familes a very blessed, Merry Christmas. Prayers

will be continued for ; and all other requests that have been

asked for.

Love to All,

Wanda

[Guest guest]

Wanda,

Prayers are on the way as I write this for your quick and complete recovery.

I think you and I have discussed this before; if not, you have probably read

some of my posts regarding EFT at www.emofree.com regarding energy medicine. It

works!

I don't know what I did before the gift was given to me by the Lord per my

request of Him to find me a tool I could use, to get well from my many auto

immune dis-eases. My life has turned around.

Of course the tools are wonderful but the Glory goes to whoever one believes

in. As for me and my house, we serve the One and Only Savior and Great

Physician, Jesus Christ. It is my firm belief He provides us with tools while

here on earth, to use to help us and I believe things like LL and EFT are two

top notch ones to have.

I hope the information is helpful.

Merry Christmas,

:-)
