Well there is so much to be thankful for! Hmmm
I am thankful that I have my health :)
I am thankful that we have the Shadow :) For the times that I have been stuck over the last three days...well the Shadow managed to get us out. Four Wheel Drive is a wonderful thing! Who would have thought we would need it so soon!!!!!
I am thankful that we have this house her in Lone Oak. It has been a blessing more than once over the past six months. I really don't know what we would have done without it. All the people that have had to stay here! Taking care of mother and grandmother...and even my sisters from time to time! The space certainly has come in handy.
I am so thankful that David made it back from Japan. Although I was not able to be in Canada with everyone this year...I am glad that he made it back safe and sound. Hopefully we will be able to see each other very soon.
I am thankful that Norman has made a HUGE recovery :) He can actually walk now and do just about anything he pleases!!!!
I am thankful that I was able to see all of my friends a month or so ago up there. I miss them so much and thank about all of them.
I am thankful that no matter how many storms come my way that I have somehow managed to stay sane through all of this! That is prob an understatement.
I am thankful that Kristy is snug as a bug down in Birmingham...even in bumpy times you still have friends that will always be there for you!
And the list just goes on and on and on!
OHHHH and I am thankful of course for a VERY VERY VERY White Christmas! Did I have to even say that one? Prob not :)
SO MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS OUT THERE! IT HAS BEEN
AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY...I LIVE FOR THE MOMENT AND I LIVE FOR THE JOURNEY!
I WOULD NOT TRADE ALL OF THIS FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.
We will be spending Christmas at the hospital. Mother is pretty confused tonight. She asked me if she was supposed to bake something :) She also thought she was having surgery tomorrow. She seems to forget everything. I guess that is part of the medication she is on. She is still in a fair bit of pain. They continue to run additional tests. I believe we are going to have to go to Louisville soon. The DR. up there would like to see her.
She will be in the hospital for a few more days. She will then come and stay with me for awhile.
I will post some photos on Christmas Afternoon!
MERRRRRRRRYYYY CCCCHHHRRRIIISSTTTMMMAAASSS EVERYONE!!!!
