[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 551826, member: 65"] Thank you for all the wonderful love and support! I've been thinking about Recoverings coments about a "hallway"....I've decided to look on this as an adventure!! I don't know where the hallway will lead or what door will open, but I'm up for it. And I decided not to be afraid or worried about what the future could hold. Mainly, because we've all gone through bad and ugly so if the future holds those....piece of cake! And if the future holds joy....I will be blessed. I've decided to be very selfish this year and make Christmas all about me! What makes ME happy! None of the kids will be around and it was getting me down. And Christmas has been rough for the last 7 years - ever since mother in law started causing trouble in the family. And I LET that take away my joy. I stopped decorating my house except for a tree. I stopped doing a lot of home-made Christmas stuff except for baking. Not this year! This is the year of ME! So, I have plans for jellies and jams. If I get to eastern Washington (if the fires don't keep me away) I will get apples and other things to preserve. I dug out my Cross-stitch stuff. I put that away all those years ago. And BOY have my eyes gotten OLD since then. But I'm having fun! I've got my patterns picked out and have started on my first ornament/decoration. I'm going to go through my knitting/crocheting patterns and see what little things I can do. I'm actually excited about this winter. I'm sure Christmas Day will be a little rough, but I am a tough warrior mom so I will be fine. Ooohhh....I can look at recipes and come up with some really good desserts for Christmas dinner!! husband and I are starting to talk about a couple of road trips this summer. I LOVE spending time with him. We have so much fun. We will be taking one towards Minnesota to see easy child and his girl. And then one down the west coast. (That is if easy child doesn't get engaged and decide a summer wedding is a good idea).... I'm going to look into an appointment with the podiatrist. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
