Too many decisions
Have you felt like we have too many
decisions to make these days.
Dona Anderson
Back in the Summer I took on the task of reducing some of the old Christmas Cards in the cabinet.
I was surprised that they went back over 20 years. The Box was full.
Each one was opened and read and 2 piles were made - one for keeping and the others were for leaving, though it was hard to make that second pile.
It was nice to see some family names of ones no longer here and pictures given out for children that are now adults. I loved the art and drawings of the grandchildren along with the big letters when they were just learning to make the words.
I also loved how beautiful many of the cards were and from the pile I only had 2 that were the same.
Christmas cards have greatly reduced over the years due to the newer ways to communicate and each year we get fewer in our mailbox. But I still do love to get a few and think that we're remembered by others after many years apart.
yes it's a special box I've kept that had tea in it from Oprah for attending her live event in Seattle years ago.
The Tea was Great and so was the event!
So when I was doing this post I thought of the one I wrote last spring -
Here's the link. post I wrote about boxes.
What's in Your boxes?
PS. I had to share this photo from last year.
Timing really is important.
Our Westie Girl Kelsie has many beds and she loves this spare one for some reason so every once in a while if the door is open she'll go and snuggle with the pillow and at Christmas I put out these teddies for fun.
In the photo below that's her hiding with the Christmas Teddies.
It was so cute how she played innocent and looked the other way.
Thankfully she stayed there long enough for me to get the camera.
Must Love Dogs in this house.!
Have a great day and stay well and safe over the holidays.

Another Year that will not be forgotten
Moving on but not forgetting
Dona Anderson
When was the last year we had a break from all that's been going on ?
We had another year with too much stress, death, loss and destruction ...
So let's change the Story to help us Feel better for a few minutes.
I'm sure we could all make a long list of what went wrong these last few years, so instead lets leave that and remember the GOOD Stuff from the same couple of years.I know it'll take a bit to focus in on it and remember the Good.
The last few years have been hard but often the good stuff is there too that we need to remember.
There's been lots of change everywhere and I guess our lists may all be very different.
What things stood out for You?
What things were You thankful for?
Thankfully the daily news is not all bad.
Maybe you had lots of support you never imagined.
I saw a lot of people helping others, bringing them into their homes and providing a safe place.
I saw food being made and served to the hungry
Pets being rescued and looked after
Vaccines made and continued to be given out
Medical workers helping others when they needed it too
Food Banks getting donations and sending them out
Countries helping other countries
Friends starting to gather again
People smiling
Change being more readily accepted and tried
Zoom and other things helped people connect
Working from home saved time, money & more
Things started to open up again
Traveler's hitting the roads and skies
Those were some I quickly thought of - what are yours?
What's on your list?
PS. when I worked I was always proactive in getting things started or done ahead of time to lessen the stress of something happening later on so I guess I've been also doing this the last 12years with these now over 700 posts.
The weeks go by so fast that my getting a few posts ahead doesn't last long.
I think it was easier at work as I knew what I needed to do but here it's made up and different every week - not like a work done report kind of thing.
As we head in 2023 I'll soon be nearing 800 posts.
This was Never imagined in my wildest dreams and mine are pretty weird.
I'll try to continue to bring you relaxation, inspiration, peace, hope, music and more to support your Wellness and Self Care.I hope you've had many favorites or ones over the years you've connected to for some special reason.
