What a Difference Six Months Makes

Okay, FAR too much has transpired in the last six months for me to catch up in just one post. I will have to drib and drab about all the stuff I have been up to lately. Let me just say that I really do always see the glass as half full but today it feels half full as well. I think I am turning the corner. It is all about that first year after you lose someone you love. You just gotta get through the first one and the rest are all downhill.

It will be a year on New Year's Eve since dad died. I know that the next ten days will probably be pretty emotional but I feel so very, very good in the midst of my sadness. I put up a tree this year. First time since 2005. I have my AA sponsees to thank for that - I had invited them over for brunch and wanted it to be festive so I got the tree up. What do you think?

There are a zillion decorations, lots of them with great meaning. I have my Starbucks and Godiva bears, a couple of dogs (one that sings), a gorgeous Santa and a reindeer. The rest of my house is decorated as well. I even have a Christmas clock that plays a Christmas carol on the hour. I have pretty much made it as tacky as possible - I LOVE IT!

Life is good and God is big! I am back. Talk to you soon.

Merry Christmas!
