December has always been one of my favorite months. After all it's the month my son Michael was born...again happy bday honey...it's the month of Christmas, my mom's birthday is in December, when Michael was young I always took the week between Christmas and New Years off...I love all the music, decorations, the parties and on & on! This year there's an added bonus since our FL family (Kim, Matt & Megan) are flying here on 12/26!!!
Today we're having our first snowstorm. In my past life...when I was still selling...I would've most likely been stuck in McGregor. I know I should be grateful, but I still miss those days...for so many reasons. :-(. Instead today I turned on the Christmas music and decided to start my Christmas cookie baking. :-)
I planned to do 3 types today, 2 tomorrow and wrap it up on Friday. I send some off to Mike and Jenny, as well as one other person so I wanted to get them done this week! Here's where my body fails me! After 1-1/2 hours of baking one kind I was exhausted. I had to quickly clean up and hang up my apron. Now I know I should feel blessed that I'm in good enough shape to do anything...but it was just the reality that after an hour and a half I was utterly exhausted. Some days it just slaps me in the face.
I hate to complain...and I'm really not...I'm just kind of telling the way it is I guess.
This month will be busy. I have an oncology appointment on 12/18. Tests, appointment and Zometa infusion. A long day, but important! I promise to write an update after I receive results.
We have several get togetherness & concerts we're looking forward to and we are very excited to spend Christmas Day with my sister Barb's family.
I will be in touch soon...until then enjoy each moment of this wonderful season!
Blessings...Kathy xoxo
December has always been one of my favorites too!! The excitement of the holidays, the first "big snow" usually and Christmas music and lights!!! I bowed out of Christmas baking because I am not strong enough to say no when there are sweets sitting around my house :-/ These past couple Christmases' haven't seemed to excite me much and I know the reason. I don't have my son to spend the season with and it really impacts my spirits for the holidays. My wish to you this holiday season Kathy is that you feel physically and emotionally enlightened by the spirit of the season!!! God bless you and my prayers for a positive oncology appointment. Hugs-Kim
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim, you always say the most beautiful things! My wish for you my friend is for you to have Broc home with you very soon! In my heart I know that we raise them so that they can spread their wings and go experience life, but must they take a piece of our hearts with them? You have raised an amazing young man too...we have so much to be proud of! Thank you for your support all of these years! Xoxo. Merry Christmas!
