I'm coping well. I've had many years to accept that my Thanksgiving and Christmas may or may not be celebrated on the actual day. I gave my (grown) kids their gifts at Thanksgiving since we were surprisingly all together. I have reduced my gift giving to almost only the little ones. Food and drink are my answers to get togethers. I miss the days of a Christmas Tree surrounded by presents and little anxious faces but I prefer the quiet now. It used to make me feel guilty but I've accepted that life never stops changing and that part, for me, is just a sweet memory.
Hi! I just stumbled across your blog today. I followed you years ago, but somehow lost touch. I still have the crocheted pot holders you sent me that I won from your blog many years ago! Anyway, hope you are doing well.
alcohol? just kidding. Since chemo have not been able to do that. I wish!
ReplyDeleteHow are you coping?
I would like to check out, but I know it won't go well, lol. Wish I could fast forward to January.
Deletemaybe you and I need to run away to somewhere warm where no outside stress can get to us. I'll meet you there!
DeleteThat works!
