Day After Christmas

Well, survived another Christmas. Little bit of a let-down today, but stayed busy with laundry & such. Evening is always the tough time alone with my thoughts. Listening to favorite music (Yanni & Celtic Thunder) & saying prayers for all that are so much worse off than me. Thankful for friends & family. Keeping my ms family in my prayers --thank you all for the kind messages & words of encouragement. Hugs to all!

Good morning! TY I am! I can understand that feeling 2littletime I think we all get it! And it's ok to be selfish and think about yourself once in a while! You just can't stay there!! 😁 With the holidays it just makes it seem harder tho! Soooo much pressure and expectations!!!πŸ˜” Blah!

I do love listening to some Celtic music once in awhile! Although it's been a long time!

Where are you from? Have any hobbies?

I'm in So. Cal (last49 years), but originally from Milwaukee, WI. My heart is still in Wisconsin. (Especially this time of year) hobbies...I like to read, although failing eyesight causes a problem. Listening to music, too. Thanks for your reply. You always seem to know the right thing to say to build is up.😊

So cal? Really? I had my oldest in Chula Vista! 🀣 It's amazing how small the world is!! I lived in a few places down there! I loved it! I still check out the San Diego Zoo links!!!

Have you tried books on tape? I have once and it was pretty good! But how can you go wrong with Stephen King? 😁🀣 πŸ€—πŸŒ

I love Dan Diego! I'm up north closer to LA. I think Old Town is the best--always something fun to do there. Maybe I'll tell my husband I need a short trip.haha have you ever visited Bishop? My husband likes to fish there, and I spend my time in the bakery!!!πŸ˜ƒ

I'm in NY now, don't ask. I'm not sure how I got here either!πŸ˜”πŸ˜­πŸ™ƒ I loved Old Town! They had the best quiet Beach right off from there! I lived in Alameda for a bit, I don't know Bishop tho. It was over 30 years ago!🀣 I so miss it! πŸ€—πŸ’•πŸŒ

Glad it's over. It uses up way too much of my energy. I had to lead our bell choir the night before and then didn't get to bed anywhere near a good time. Exhausted the day of and had to work the day after (shortened time but still...) I also worked on Friday but didn't get up today until nearly 11. I was awake before that but it just felt so good not to move.

Now to get through New Year's...

Sounds like your schedule is really demanding. Stay in that nice cozy bed as long as possible. I woke up at 5 today, and finally crawled out of bed at 6:30! We are allowed!!
