Hope it all gets better for them. <BR/><BR/>That is a lovely photograph you have put up there. So peaceful. <BR/><BR/>Happy Solstice and a wonderful New Year wishes, I am sending your way. <BR/><BR/>I will be there with you in spirit on the January 6th also. I am joining my mother-in-law on Friday morning for a sunrise ceremony with other women she knows, for the longest winter day. <BR/><BR/>Wishing you all the best, and sending big hugs. It is great to have met you, albeit in cyber space. Maybe one day we can meet in person, I would really like that.<BR/>GxGayé Terziogluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429669176156091603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-91711813570288713492007-12-19T18:46:00.000-03:302007-12-19T18:46:00.000-03:30Hi WWWI wish you and all your family the very best...Hi WWW<BR/><BR/>I wish you and all your family the very best for Christmas and the New Year. <BR/><BR/>xxx<BR/><BR/>PantsPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712642194215828800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-17306260431701550792007-12-18T15:44:00.000-03:302007-12-18T15:44:00.000-03:30Medbh:I'm with you - and there is absolutely nothi...Medbh:<BR/>I'm with you - and there is absolutely nothing like going to a movie (or several) on Christmas day.<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-45671883944040942802007-12-18T13:14:00.000-03:302007-12-18T13:14:00.000-03:30I do the absolute bare minimum and only buy gifts ...I do the absolute bare minimum and only buy gifts for family because they expect it.

I do agree. Jenny and I will have a quiet Christmas on our own without anyone else to worry about and entertain! And as you say, it's the peak time for domestic violence and suicides.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear of all the ill-health and other problems. My sister Heather has had motor neurone disease for almost five years, so I have some idea what MS must be like. But at least you don't have the Toronto weather!<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of Women's Christmas - a nice antidote to the usual drunken Men's Christmas!nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-38871019734892969232007-12-16T23:31:00.000-03:302007-12-16T23:31:00.000-03:30Yes, RJA, my daughter maintains that the lack of V...Yes, RJA, my daughter maintains that the lack of Vitamin D has some really negative effects on us in this season of short days and cold nights.<BR/>Backatcha!

I guess the long nights and cold weather don't help. There's nothing like some warm sun on our backs to chase away the infirmities.
