[melbrown]

Beautiful tree Starrlight 🌲I am grateful it's Friday & a date night. That we are seeing friends tomorrow. That I have 2 crazy sweet kittens waiting for me at home 💗

[Starrlight in reply to melbrown]

There is a frog 🐸 instead of a star on top of my tree, ha!!! Mel have fun on your date! Lucky you! Awww crazy sweet kitties are great fun.

[melbrown in reply to Starrlight]

😅 Didn't see the frog... that's so cool.🐸 Date night was kind of bust... ended up eating outside, because no room inside & there was no heaters, so I was freezing. And the food was okayish. Oh well. Are you ready for the holidays?

[Starrlight in reply to melbrown]

oh nooooo I’m sorry … I can kind of relate, it was recently my anniversary with my husband and we were exhausted the night of, yet haven’t rescheduled, oh well.

I love this time of year truly but am so tired and hoping I get a chance to enjoy the holiday feels more and actually get to take good breaks instead of worrying over stuff and constantly busy. I have changes to my mom’s care needs and my son is seeing an endocrinologist soon so I just want things to go as smoothly as possible. Thanks for asking.

How about you? Are you ready for Holidays?

[melbrown in reply to Starrlight]

Congratulations on your anniversary 💗 We had plan on getting a tree, haven't gotten around to it... we decided not this year... with 2 kittens it would probably be on the ground daily or other kitten mischief 😺 Gifts are all basically bought, though not wrapped. Going to my mom's for Christmas dinner. It's been a tough year... so hard to get into the holidays. Will be good to get some mama love.

Sorry to hear about the medical issues with your mom & son... hope it all turns out okay. Will be keeping you & family in my thoughts.

[Starrlight in reply to melbrown]

Ha silly kitties I love it! That’s great you’re going to get mama love ❤️ I agree; it’s been a hard year. We so deserve a nice break. I think I’ll go into nature to celebrate Solstice on the 21st something to look forward to.

[melbrown in reply to Starrlight]

That sounds lovely... have you gotten snow ❄. We don't get any in the CA Bay Area... but it was cold enough we got a bit in Santa Cruz Mountains. Might have to try go and see it next time.

[Starrlight in reply to melbrown]

We have not in Northern VA but forecast is calling for snow Friday.

I saw your note that you'd created a gratefulness post. I'm feeling sorry for myself, and I'd like to switch gears. I'll see what I can come up with.

This post. (Thank you.) The timing's perfect.

Tea. I've got some hot, sweet Darjeeling. It's so comforting.

I'm looking forward to baked fish tonight. (I hope.)

My baby. 🦜💜 She's been very patient with me this whole week. I've been in a lot of pain and I'm not myself.

Planning ahead for another heavy snowfall this weekend (A few feet expected. Again.) I think I prepared enough ahead this time.

A really dependable guy to snowblow my driveway and clean my car. Hurray!

[Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books]

You’re welcome my friend! I’m so happy you came to share your gratefulness . Yea tea is an awesome comfort. Fish and your baby tops it off. Good job on your list. I’m really sorry you’ve been in so much pain. So sorry you’re not yourself ((((((((((((((((((hug)))))))))))))))))))

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Starrlight]

Listing things I'm grateful for is work for me, but it does help me set my mind in a better direction.

How 'bout you? Are you finding a little peace during the holiday craziness?

[Starrlight in reply to Nothing_but_books]

I am at peace in this moment. I had a rough day but that helps me to appreciate this moment more, you know? Thanks for asking.

Listing can def be work.

Tonight I’m grateful for my Christmas tree, getting the cards out for the mail, wrapping the rest of the gifts, being able to just sit and rest comfortably with the candles and lights and a enjoyable book.

My Christmas tree

[Starrlight in reply to Hope4me1]

Sounds nice! Looks nice, too! I think I’ll wrap some presents tomorrow.

[melbrown in reply to Hope4me1]

Beautiful. Looks very peaceful.. like your nativity set. I'm not very religious but have fond memories of the wooden one my mom had.

[Hope4me1 in reply to melbrown]

I have good memories of my Nana’s nativity set, too. I used to love to help set it up. When I had my own house, I bought a set for myself. Traditions at Christmas bring me joy and fond memories of those who are not with us any longer.

[melbrown in reply to Hope4me1]

😊 Love all of that.

He was so good until he tried to get up Santa's sleeve

[Starrlight in reply to Dolphin14]

[melbrown in reply to Dolphin14]

Thank you Dolphin14. Such cuteness. Herman is definitely on the good boy list 🎅

[Dolphin14 in reply to melbrown]

He is, he came out of there with a few things for his stocking

[melbrown in reply to Dolphin14]

😄

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Dolphin14]

Herman is so tiny. Was he scared of Santa?

[Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Herman did well. He moved a bit but was easily repositioned for the photos. My biggest fear was 💩 on Santa's white gloves lol.

❤️🐬

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Dolphin14]

Yikes! I never thought of that.

Happy holiday Herman. Dolphin too!

[Dolphin14 in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Happy Holiday NBP and Tara
