Long Time No Post, but I DO want to wish all my LJ Friends good holidays and a new year better than this one, full of the good stuff you want and need.
I have been busy, but also quiet. My brother-in-law is seriously ill; we are hopeful liver and kidney transplants will become possible sooner rather than later, but for now it's a waiting game. Also, a close friend from childhood died last month of brain cancer. She, her sister and I were quite the neighborhood triumvirate for several years -- from grade school thru high school and, OMG, that was over 50 years ago.
I've been contemplative as I've moved through the past few months, grateful for my 2 wonderful sons, a lovely daughter (officially, daughter-in-law; in my heart, my daughter) and 3 awesome grandchildren. Their love gives me strength and hope.
A toast to all: Health, Love, Wealth and Time to Enjoy Them
