Re: Chronic Pain Group Good morning and happy new year:)

[Guest guest]

Hello, and happy New Year, to you, too, ! It's wonderful that you

were able to have a good Christmas, and that some of the 'monkeys on your

back' have been taken care of!

Here, we leave Christmas decorations up until January 6th...Epiphany for us.

..as Catholics, many of us do it that way...and we also give small gifts on

that day, because it's the date we consider that the " Magi " arrived to see

the Christ Child..and presented their gifts to Him.

It makes the season last a little longer for us.....and even if you aren't

Catholic, it's a nice tradition....

Am in pain today....but trying to catch up on the e-mails...something to do,

when I can't do anything else...and helps take my mind off the pain a bit...

May all of you have a pain-free day...

lots of love and hugs....
