A for worrying, how about worrying about the small things (not the bills, mind you, they're too insignificant) and let the large things sort themselves out on the periphery. That jam sounds good.Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-20622449908924869312009-12-16T10:56:43.785-05:002009-12-16T10:56:43.785-05:00have a beautiful holiday - i love philly at christ...have a beautiful holiday - i love philly at christmas and have many fond memories of visting my grandmother there before she moved to cape may.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851293154388793520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-27122424187587705952009-12-16T10:02:25.479-05:002009-12-16T10:02:25.479-05:00How I would love to come sit and chat with you ove...How I would love to come sit and chat with you over tea and biscuits and play Scrabble. My family has always been big Scrabble players, I'll brush up before I stop by. Worries - I used to be the worry queen, but not so much anymore (one of the perks of getting older). However, I do worry about my kids still - but that will never go away and for that I am thankful. This holiday season has suddenly turned very bittersweet for Alex and myself as we learned yesterday that yet another friend of ours has been diagnosed with cancer and the news is terrible. He is in his early fifties with two teenage kids and a wife....If I could have one wish, it would be to wipe this cancer off the planet, it has taken too many of my friends and loved ones in the last few years....If you'd do me a favor - keep this family in your heart during the holidays - as it will be their last one together! Enjoy your last few days of the island, lovely Gigi!

If only i could ...Oh Gigi that sounds so inviting! If only i could hop on a ferry and come over to your island for a visit. I would love that. I had no idea your island life was not your permanent situation... you'd have to drag me by the hair away from that beautiful place. <br />Yes,I have worries too! After a few very busy weeks of helping out with the school PAC christmas fundraiser, a bunch of birthday celebrations, a few christmas concerts, I have now done something to my back. Sadly this time I am spending laying around waiting for my back to heal is the time iI had set aside to do all my Christmas preparations, shopping, decorating and crafting and oh yeah - cleaning!. Oh well, Christmas will come regardless. Worrying won't help me now. Tonight my hubby rigged up my imac by my bed for me, so at lease now I can spend my time catching up with friends and visiting my favorite blogs! Thanks for being a welcome distraction from my worries!<br /><br />Enjoy your last days in that beautiful setting and if I don't talk to you before - Have a Blessed Christmas!<br /><br />Peace,<br />CatherineCatherine @ van Breugel Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327383690573780395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-86610512112130765972009-12-16T02:08:41.593-05:002009-12-16T02:08:41.593-05:00You know my darling Gigi, there is nothing I would...You know my darling Gigi, there is nothing I would like more than to join you before that fire, tea in hand and yes, I'll have a biscuit or two as well .. now what would you like to talk about ...... xxxdebra@dustjackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397055465607649038noreply@blogger.com
