packin' - stylin'

Hey All!
How is it going?
the days are cold and
especially today Dec 29th!

 I am working on a hair style

that is a tad edgier than my norm
and packing for our holiday in another
week. 







I remember when Christmas was the most exciting 
time for me because my Mom really made it magical.

As an adult I still enjoy the lights and look forward
to a present or two under the tree but it is a quieter season for me now
and I like it like that.  
A few Christmas events building up  to the day is
good but I now just want to snuggle in with a good read
and watch the tree lights twinkle and visit quietly
with a friend or two.

This last week....
the parents are both still functioning okay in
a senior residence and also driving us crazy sometimes
with the medical appointments but we are presenting
our thoughts on that to them as best as we can
and praying this next year is quieter for having
flus' and hoping for keeping their medications stable.
I am very fortunate to have my brother and sister
in the city where my folks live.
They assist ALOT when they can and it is
like this:
  "It seems that one mother  can look after
 many children but now it takes all 3 of us and more to look after
one mother! (our father included)!


How about you?  
Keeping fit over the holidays?
Maintaining-no gain with the weight?

here is a great quote from Carol Tuttle
lifestyle program

"When You Look Good And Feel Good, You Are More
Confident To Do Good, In A World That Needs Your Gifts!"
