This journal is for my beloved children and grandchildren...
...and for Dear Hubby if he outlives me

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that ‘making a living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’ I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

My blog friend Maria made a comment about me needing to slow down a bit. I admit it. I'm overwhelmed. Between the imminent death of my father-in-law on the horizon - any day now - and being sick all week with bronchitis but still baby sitting Dylan in spite of it...well, Christmas is about as far from my thoughts as it can get. My best friend Lizzie sent me a bunch of Maxine Christmas cartoons by email yesterday and I thought this one fit me to a "T" this year. She entitled her email "Scroogette". That would be me.
