Happy Chistmas

Dear HU members..

As we approach this festive season, I wanted to take a moment to wish every one of you a Merry Christmas! 🎅🎉 Despite our shared journey with atrial fibrillation, let's embrace the spirit of the moment and spread some cheer to light up our hearts.

May your hearts be as steady as a perfectly tuned metronome, and may the only fluttering you experience this season be the joyous excitement of unwrapping presents! 🎁🎄

Remember, laughter is a great medicine, so here's a little dose of holiday humour for you:

"Why did the heart go to the Christmas party? Because it wanted to have a 'pulse'-ating good time!"

On a serious note, your strength, resilience, and support within this community have created a bond that beats even the strongest of hearts. Let's celebrate the warmth of togetherness and the hope that the new year brings better health and happiness for all.

I am sending each of you a sleigh full of good wishes, joy, and a heart-healthy Christmas.

Paul

The days are getting longer, it's warming up, some days getting to mid to high 20'sC. I've fired up the BBQ last weekend. Found the jandels. Yes it's starting to feel like Christmas. I'll raise a glass of iced water to you Paul. Cheers Blake

Hi

Fellow NZder.

We won the Yacht Race!!!!! Couldn't keep my eyes open Day 1. Didn't realise that I could have watched on TV3 delayed at 4.30pm.

However I watched races 4 and 5 (or was it 5 and 6).

Lots of buying supplies. $8.99kg for fresh spring lamb at PaknSave.

You know that UK gets our best lamb!

You have a great one and I can smell the barbie heating up. A crowd of us will shelter under those pictureque Pohutukawa trees out in bloom. I have an Australian Pohutukawa tree out front.

It is the time to be MERRY!

Thank you, Paul for such a warm hearted post. It cheered me up to read it especially as after three and half years of covid, goodness knows how many jabs, 7 or 8, I finally tested positive for covid yesterday. I had grown so complacent that I couldn't believe that the cold and cough would be that. I've been lucky. Ok, so I miss my hair appt, my blood test friend and family gathering this weekend but there will be other times. Happy Christmas to you and yours!

Paulbounce profile image
Paulbounce in reply to Camelia23

Hey Camelia. You are strong enough to stick this out. It's not nice or ideal but you'll deal with it. Last year I tested positive for covid on New Year's Eve - party plans out of the window. Do I care? No - a third of the world doesn't have enough food to eat. Puts its perfective for me.

I wish you the quickest of recoveries and ALL the best for 2024.
