Today is the beginning of the winter equinox, and also the solstace. Happy winter my friends! Sign in to see full entry.

It is raining cats and dogs here today and the winds howl madly outside! I feel so badly for poor Margaret! She's had to go out to the grocery in this craziness, and she doesn't feel well at all. Bless her. We all had a fabulous time together yesterday, and I found out that both ladies LOVE Thai... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Friday my dear friends! I would like to thank my friends who posted birthday wishes for me. It was a wonderful day. I received many wonderful gifts, but as I say every year at this time, the greatest gift is my life itself. What a humbling honour to have been born in the same month as the Holy...

Happy birthday, Aunt Ann Marie. We all love and miss you more than you know. May you be celebrating a joyous birthday with our Father in Heaven. I love you. Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Wednesday dear ones... I hope your yesterday was fantastic. I did post, but for some reason, my useless laptop didn't save it! Boo hoo!... Today is Belle's birthday, so Margaret is with her and the kids until early tomorrow morning. I'm glad she's finally been able to get away and spend some... Sign in to see full entry.

I've taken the advice of my Grandmummy kabu and Utah Jay. I'm going to email Juliet tomorrow and ask her to make a donation to an animal shelter in my name. Thank you, my wonderful friends! Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... First of all, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I need to ask for prayers for Juliet and her sister, Tina. I don't want to intrude on their privacy, so I would prefer not to write about what's happening with them, only to say they are both facing a very difficult time ahead.... Sign in to see full entry.

My good fortune is about to run out, I fear. We are predicted to receive several inches of snow ovr the next three to four days. Mum is not at all pleased by this idea, and nor am I. Sigh. I knew it had to happen sooner or later. I don't really want snow on my birthday. Not something I consider a... Sign in to see full entry.

Just a curiosity tonigt dear ones... If you could write a letter to Father Christmas and ask him for just one very special thing for Christmas for yourself, what would you ask for? It can be anything you wish, from silly to serious, but one thing only. For myself, I'd ask him to help me find some... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for me. I've just had some horribly shocking news from Mum. I can't write about it just now. I will come back tomorrow, but not to write about it. I just can't. Be blessed, dear ones. Sign in to see full entry.

I am still reeling from the news of yesterday. I tried to come back and write, but my heart was too heavy with grief for the twenty six innocent lives lost in Conncecticut. My only consolation is that God our Father was with them all even to the end. As He is with us all. For His own reasons, He... Sign in to see full entry.

Please pray for those affected by the Connecticut school shooting this morning, including the gunman's family. This Christmas will be filled with pain for them all rather than joy. Sign in to see full entry.

Did you ever wonder why it was that people started stringing lights round the branches of their Christmas trees? Here's what I like to think of when I see those pretty colours twinkling on my tree. Perhaps the lights are meant to represent the beautiful colours brought forth by the star which lead... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I haven't forgotten about the surprise I promised you all. I really wanted to work on it, but sadly life dictated otherwise today. I will try again tomorrow! I hope you all had a wonderful day... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello dear ones... I'm sorry not to have posted today but I just wasn't able to do so. I will return tomorrow with a special surprise for you all. Until then, be blessed and may all your dreams be pleasant and sweet! Sign in to see full entry.

The love seems to be spilling from every oraphus of me today. I just made two more donations. My second planned donation to Saint Jude's, and my second planned donation for the Red Cross. I am so blessed and happy to do this for so many who are suffering this holiday season. I may not know any of... Sign in to see full entry.

It truly is better to give gifts than to receive them. I'm still so thankful that Mum has decided to donate the money she had saved up to buy Christmas presents to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Bless her. I have to confess that she has indeed inspired me this year. I'm having a hard time today.... Sign in to see full entry.

One of my favourite Christmas carols ever is THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY. I love the verse in which he tells the baby Jesus that he, too, is a poor child, and that he has no gift to bring that is fit enough to lay before his king. For several days now, I've been pondering...If you could go back in time... Sign in to see full entry.

I got the shock of my life this morning. Just as I was stepping out of the shower, Margaret knocked on the door to tell me that my ex had just sent me a messenger contact invite. Since she wasn't altogether sure it was from him at first, she asked me, did I want to accept? My response was a... Sign in to see full entry.

Most of you who know me are pretty much aware of my favourite things about the Christmas season. Just for fun, I'll tell y'all about some of the things I don't like about it. #1: First and foremost, I HATE those adverts on television that start on Thanksgiving Day that shout GIMME, GIMME, GIMME!...
