brunch, catch up, Christmas tree, enjoyed each moment, friends, hugged someone, moving forward, tough times

another lovely relaxing day…

got up, had some tea and watched a bit of TV… then I put on a few layers of clothing and headed over to the Park to meet some great women for brunch… enjoyed Eggs Benedict and wonderful conversation…

hadn’t seen these good women for quite a while, and was glad to be able to catch up on their lives… we have all gone through some tough times and compared this year’s Christmas stories…   I miss George enormously, but I shared how I can decide to do something, and I don’t have to get anyone else’s input – this can be a benefit sometimes…

on my way home I stopped and took a few pictures, and although it was overcast they came out fairly well… a few of them were of a favourite tree in the Park that we love to enjoy during the various seasons…

Crystal and the boys came over for supper and we had a good time, particularly when we got to eat some more of the demolished chocolate Christmas tree… I also got to hug someone I hadn’t seen for a while…

life is amazingly good, and today I enjoyed each moment…

Sharing…

friends, friendship, gift, new life, preparing, sharing, strength, together

I made cookie dough Saturday night, and the actual cookies last night for my BS friends… we gathered tonight for our Christmas celebration… the five of us have met most Monday evenings for nearly 25 years… we have met in person, as well as by speaker phone… we have gone through life together, and have held one another up through various difficulties… we have also laughed and shared wonderful times…

it had been so long since I last baked that I couldn’t remember where the rolling pin was, but eventually I found it… I prefer making dinner to baking and since I no longer have to make cookies for school occasions for the girls, baking doesn’t occur around here very often… but, whenever I prepare food for people, whether it is soup, a dip, a main course, or even cookies, I spend the time thinking about the particular people who will be eating whatever it is I am making… I find it very satisfying to watch people enjoy the offering, knowing that I have taken special care to produce it…

lovely tree sugar cookies...

tonight we ate treats, shared gifts around the circle, and enjoyed much laughter and love…

they were here the night the police came to the door to tell me that George had been in a car accident, and likely suffered a heart attack… one came with me to the hospital and the others closed up the house and went off to share the news and come to be with me… I do not know where I would have been without them that night… it was horrible and hard but having them around me was so comforting…

what if I had been alone, how would I have managed, who would have held my hand… they are my rock, my strength and they hold me up… no one knows me like they do…

what a gift that they were here… and that they continue with me in my new life…
