Holiday gifts

I didn't get what I wanted - I wanted nothing and ended up returning what I did get. BUT!! Thanks for reminding me about Project Linus. I meant to look it up a couple years ago and totally forgot about it!

How sweet. I got what I wanted for Christmas witch was a Cross Stitching frame That is free standing that I can adjust the heighth on and a new ipod to listen to while I stitch. I had to look up project Linus, but I think that is very kind of you to crochet afghans for that charity. As part of my new years resolutions, I am going to start volunteering at the local humane society.

i got a new mattress set!!i love it!im now having the most comfortable sleep ever!:)

Yarn is a fabulous gift to get. Gosh, my kids gave me such wonderful gifts last year that I cannot say I had a favorite. They were all my favorites.

Hi again...liked this discussion and appreciate the best response! Thanks my friend!

Yes I did! The gift I most wanted...and received was that my hubby DAvid's health and well being would be restored...and it has been. For the last two years he has been going through a rough time and thankfully with his own commitment to his healing journey, a lot prayer and energetic support and a good team of doctors he has come through all of it stronger and healthier than ever. I also received the gift of inner peace this holiday season...and I have been seeking that for most of my life. I had tastes of it...but then there were more layers to peel back. With much joy I am grateful to be where I am at this stage of my life. My birthday is New Year's Eve and I had the best birthday so far! With all the wonderful spiritual aspects fulfilled I was grateful when David and a gal pal arranged a small gathering for friends to celebrate my birthday and how far we have come since this time last year. Yes, there were lovely gifts...but the essence of the experiences were the most significant aspect of this holiday season. Having said all this I did get one thing I really wanted...from David. I do telephone counseling and needed a comfortable chair to sit in while talking to clients. He bought me a lovely, big gold yellow leather wing back chair that rocks..and I love it. So do our cats when I am not sitting in it. It is good to hear you received what you wanted as a holiday gifts. Shows your friends and loved ones hear what you say and do their best to meet you at your point of need. That's what makes the holidays special...reminders of who and what we love. Raia
