Have a wonderful holiday and bye-bye 2020~!

[Grammy80]

My heartfelt wishes for a blessed Christmas and wishes that we have a year ahead that will be better...it may take a while, but it will be better.

Though this past year has been hard for everyone...and I think of all of you dear friends in the UK so often.

I do think the difficulties this past year have maximized our ability to become a bit creative in dealing with issues, kinder toward our fellow man and taught us many ways what is truly important in life.

I'm going to make every effort to be better about staying in touch because you were all there for me when I was alone and diagnosed with GCA....I want to be a better member and return the kindnesses shown to me. Plus...I miss sharing with you.

Like all of us, I've been struggling a bit but nothing compared to the suffering many are experiencing here in the states due to the virus or the economic problems it has caused.

With love and wishes for joy.....💖💖 the kind of joy that comes from gratitude.

It's a weird world but it would be a lot more difficult without all of us sharing our stories, woes, highs and lows. Sending a bouquet of Christmas wishes to you xx❤️🌟💐

Your Pansy has a Light behind it and I remember you every day. Stay safe and in the vernacular 'Gan canny'. xx

.....and I think of you across the pond and pray you are doing well and awaiting the chance to garden in the spring. Real pansies!!💖

[jinasc in reply to Grammy80]

My Winter Pansies are in bloom..........how they stand the ups and downs of UK weather (which is changing rapidly) makes me smile.

I will send a photo of your Pansy when I get 'arundtouit'.

So 😄 you are back posting.

How lucky you are! Pansies are my favourite flowers with all their wonderful coloured faces. I always had them in my flower garden in years gone buy and kept a small bouquet in my office. If they grew in the tropics I'd have them here.

[Grammy80 in reply to jinasc]

Wow...you actually have pansies now? What a delight to see color at this time. I've had vertigo that wouldn't quit...and was too dizzy to post and then Christmas!! 'whenever' will be delightful.💖

So lovely to hear from you Grammy. I have often thought of you, hoping that you are happy in the bosom of your family. Lovely post. I hope you are having your kind of Christmas ( with the inevitable compromise) and the New Year has only good things in store for you. Xxx

[Grammy80 in reply to SheffieldJane]

Oh...and I wish you the same~!!!💖

💖💖 I feel the very same!
