This n' That

[Guest guest]

Greetings Dragonslayers

Hope this finds you all fighting the good fight when you have to, and being good

to yourselves too.

We have had some new members this last week or so. The newest fron San Paolo

Brazil. He's only 22 and has only been diagnosed a short time. I know you will

all welcome him with open arms, and insights into living with the dreaded

dragon.

Remember that when giving those insights, we can only speak from personal

experience, and relating information that is just that, information, which may

or may not be suspect, is not how we do things on the list. If there is proven,

researched information, by all means use the link, and let our members do the

research for themselves. As far as I know we have 2 Docs on our list, and they

keep a very low profile.

Please respect each other, and keep it real.

Is anyone else counting the days down til the Conference in Vegas?

May the Dragons miss you and

the angels find you!!!!

Warm regards

Cat

Cat and every one

 When you said this cat “Christmas, while a wonderful time of year, can be

stressful. Try and remember to

be kind to yourself, and be vigilant against depression! Don't overdo anything

if you can! " I wanted to also add some thing.

 

Bob Hope (you youngsters may not know who he is so google him up if you have to)

once said this abut Christmas and I find it so true in my own life and I am sure

looking back that you will also. " When we recall Christmas past, we usually find

that the simplest things - not the great occasions - give off the greatest glow

of happiness. "

 

 It’s not the gifts that matter nor the wrappings but the time you share with

friends and family that really matter. I know as I look back on Christmases of

the past I always seam to remember more fondly the simple ones with the gifts

that were hand made. Be it a blanket that I treasure to this day or some baked

goods like Grandma's cookies. Or a Photo book with captions   my so called

none

talented mother made. That’s what I remember the most. so please do not stress

over not having money to buy things as to most and yes even your kids its the

ones you put your heart and soul into that will be remembered long after the

rest have been forgotten. After all it’s not the number of gifts nor the size

that will matter down the line but what went into them that they will recall. So

if nothing other write the person a letter and tell them what they really mean

to you. Open your heart to them and let them know what you feel about them. I

know I still take out one I got years ago and read its worn pages. It still

makes me warm in side and reminds me of that morning as I sat and read it for

the first time.

 

Its the gifts like that that help you remember what is real and important in

life and when your just sitting and thinking it is also them that you will

recall with the fondest memories of all.

I know this year in my house again there is no gifts but what we make or write.

But I know it will be a good one all the same as and I are making Lefse.

This is some thing my mom and dad made ever Christmas but now no one dose. So

and I learned how to and now were making it for her as she will be here

for Christmas. it will be her first time having Christmas with us so that will

make it very special for us all  as we will send a bunch home with her also to

enjoy later.

So just think and make it simple and have a wonderful time with it

Hugs ya all
