Christmas Tidings

I will be cooking and filling the house with delicious smells, filling the house with some Christmas music, and having a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with my son... and friends will pop in and say Hello, knowing that I'll be home and not going anywhere ... very sad about that.... but, I'll make the best of it.  

So, tonight's movie fest:  Red 2, The World's End, and The Lone Ranger.... I know my favorite will be The World's End, I wanted to see it when it was in the theaters and never got the chance.

Merry Christmas to All.

Cheers!

Happy Birthday Dad.... 

Spirit of the Holidays....

It's very difficult to find the Holiday Cheer... BUT, I can find the "Spirit" when I listen to the music.... my favorites this year are instrumental and acapella....

Music soothes my soul, my heart, my mind... how can it not lift you up some?

SO, instead of dwelling on the fact that my father is not with us anymore, that I cannot make it to my mother's for Christmas, I am missing my nephew's first Christmas, that I am so far away from my family, and so many "dilemmas" and "issues" ... I drift off into listening to music, and try to think of things that are positive, plan things that I "CAN" do and afford that can make my loved ones happy, and remember that "the thought" counts so much more than anything else...

A little chocolate goody on the taste buds does help too!!!!
