My little Bar Mills spruce tree that grew up! If you look closely, you will see I am feeding the birds peanut butter and seeds, and I suspect the squirrels! I loved that tree, planted when grandson Daniel gave it me, I think he was seven. He is 29 so the tree is twenty-two. When I left it still had all its Christmas lights. It was very pretty the last time I dressed it. I put bright blue lights on it for Thomas as he loved them! He had died that September. Please don’t find me sad, as I was very well loved!

Now! Christmas 2025 is about to happen and then we ring in the NEW YEAR! May love and laughter find you! May your dreams and wishes come true! May goodness, kindness and joy fill your heart and give you much hope. Without hope we would feel loss. Change the things you can and let go of the things you can’t Do only what you can live with doing. Know you don’t really have to be understood by everyone, nor should you wait to be understood. Remember how to love and have compassion. Be kind. The world, life is about all of us and our connections. With in a family, we are responsible for our own relationships with each person. Those relationships are dear and precious even when wonky. We don’t have to like what others do, nor do they have to like what we do, even if perceived. I like to think I might be wrong. I need to add this is not always the case simply because its not wise to use blanket statements. You can be right with a gut feeling. You can get broadsided by other people’s perceptions. This does not make them right. To keep defending yourself a cycle. So don’t do this as hard as it may feel. Good anger is where you say what you need to say and then let go, it’s not stirred and stirred so it hurts you repeatedly. It’s not being in the present. It’s not letting you feel happiness, and it doesn’t give you the purpose to move forward. It’s not being justified that is important here as that fosters anger and more hurt. Life is the learning curve that it is and we are not on the same “Lily pad” and if we were? Something tells me it would sink. Just how and why I have not entertained that well enough to describe my thoughts.

Gather about you those you love, those who come into and are a part of your world. Think of others and reach out! This gives joy and happiness all the way round! MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY LOVE AND LAUGHTER FIND YOU! BEST WISHES! PEJJ NUNES!
