Large Detail of rocks at The Dells It's been a pretty full holiday season already and it's almost Christmas.   This fall my younger brother and his wife came for a visit (something I never thought could happen for health reasons).  My nephew Matt came for a visit and it was wonderful to get to know him better.  Peter and I were tour guides and as often happens we saw places we had not seen before and got a little different perspective on things we had seen.  Matt in front of some of the rocks at The Dells We are co hosts of a holiday party coming up and attended another neighborhood party.  Long time friends from Tucson came to visit and we are feeling blessed with all the love from family and friends.  I am reminded of how special each person is and how important it is to acknowledge individual talents.  This month I'm finishing several projects that I started or wanted to start throughout this year and thought I'd share a few with you.  Part of the

Butterflies and Thank You's

Thanks for all the healing butterflies we received!   Keep them coming!   So many people have severe health issues.   Those of us who have a network of friends and family that offer both emotional and physical support are indeed the lucky ones.   It’s how we get through the bad times.   So I am taking this opportunity to once again thank our friends and family for their continued love.   The phone calls, emails and hugs mean so much.   Being reminded that each story is unique and not a repeat; being reminded that all I have to do is pick up the phone to hear a caring voice; and being reminded that there is always someone to listen have pulled me back from a previous story and grounded me in reality.   So we will go to Tucson and have more testing done on Peter.   We will see his doctor and build a game plan and go forward.   Whatever the results, they are treatable. We will continue to love, live and hang onto our wonderful network of friends and family.

       I Share My Gratitude and thankfulness for:                 A loving family – All my life I have been loved and have loved My Two Brothers and Me Peter, who loves me, accepts me and allows me space to be me. High standards and high expectations Knowing if I did not meet those standards, I would still be loved. Learning that ‘good enough’ sometimes is ‘good enough’                  The understanding that I am responsible for my own happiness.                  Amazing friends who are fun, loving, compassionate and expect the same from me.                 The ability to explore my creativity.                   My home in a lovely city and diverse state in America                 Ravens that swoop through the pine trees                  Lakes and mountains, deserts and oceans, sunrises and sunsets and all the in between                 Good health                 Laughter                 Music                 And so much more!                 Thank you for being part of my world!
