HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[Guest guest]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to each and every one of you. May this be a very

special time of year for you. I hope that you will enjoy your

dinners and the time that you will have to be with friends,

associates and family.

I know that for some (including myself) we will be without one or two

or maybe many more loved ones because they have gone on. I hope we

can keep in mind that it's not the end, but only the beginning and

that someday we will see our loved ones again. This year I will be

without my father. He passed away last October from Emphysema but I

know he is in a better place now.

I am thankful for so many reasons this year, especially this year. I

have been blessed with having this surgery-approved (have not had it

yet, but I will) and because I have so many people that I can turn to

without reservation or hesitation.

I have a more awareness of who I am and I have learned to make my own

decisions for me and not allow others to influence my decisions one

way or the other. Its been hard all my life but I have gained so

much confidence.

I am in a much better place than I was last month and it is only thru

this online support group that I can honestly say I give credit to.

Thank you. I will miss hearing from you all because I will not be

online or checking email. Be good to yourselves, love yourselves,

help someone else out, be SAFE and don't OVERDUE it but more

importantly, enjoy yourselves, I know I plan to.
