[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675429, member: 19522"] Hi Cedar and Copa, Feeling are you there? Hi CD friends.... I was listening to Christmas music, and you are right, Cedar, it is brightening my mood. I am cleaning up and getting ready to mix sugar cookie dough for tonights "great cookie making". Blossom, my two grands, Hoku, her boyfriend, Son and his girlfriend, will be "rolling in the dough" tonight, making bells, trees, stars and decorating them with colored sugar, mini m&m's and snowcaps. My Hawaiian Christmas tree is up, she continues to change each day, I think she is dancing the hula.

I will be "holding both", thinking of my two, my three hooligans, and [I]missing them[/I]. We will light our candles in the window, and say a prayer together, before commencing the evening. I read and re-read the articles, thank you Cedar. Shedding happy, sad tears. Copa, I am cooking a rib roast for the first time, ([I]I splurged) [/I]Hubs will not be happy, but I wanted to make a nice meal, rather than buy a bunch of stuff......I could use your recipe right now!!! I didn't think I would [I]ever splurge[/I] on a rib roast! I am thinking of my CD warrior sisters, and friends, and wishing you all peace and joy. I am very thankful to have spent these past few months in the pleasure of your company, words of wisdom, sorrow, and happiness. You have kept me sane, in the insanity of my challenges. Thank you so very, very much for your loving guidance and support. I found this today, while searching living life to the fullest. It is something I want to work on, life is truly too short. [IMG]http://f.fastcompany.net/multisite_files/coexist/imagecache/inline-large/post-inline/The-Holstee-Manifesto.jpg[/IMG] Thank you my dear warrior sisters, and all CD warriors, too, for helping me these past few months, through the storms and fair weather. I have been blessed and comforted. Words simply cannot express. (((HUGS))) and love, leafy [/QUOTE]
