Vacation RULES...and I am on it now! No work until next year. I actually went out late last night and finished my Christmas shopping. So, I am really on vacation. :)
The chaos of my family's preparations for Christmas notwithstanding, here I am sneaking in my votes before returning to the ultimate dead zone where my family dwells, from which no cell phone reception can ever enter or leave, I offer these words: Here in the final stretch before Christmas, let's not forget that, whatever holiday you celebrate, don't let the bells, whistles, frills, lights, tree and material gifts cause you to forget that this time should be about family, friends, loved ones, and peace and goodwill toward all. Here's hoping each of you have a happy, healthy, and blessed holiday. With sincerest gratitude for each and every one of you, and the kindness and friendship you've shown me, Blessed Be your Merry Christmas.
On this Wed. I send you an Irish Holiday blessing: May your day be filled with blessings.Like the sun that lights the sky, And may you always have the courage To spread your wings and fly.
I had a witty grandma quote to share this morning. Life had other plans. This is the exact message I left on the voicemail of my veterinarian's phone at 4:15ish: "Hi, Carol. This is Julia. My number is (_____). My dimwit had another genius moment. She has cuts in her mouth, I think she's got to go in. I looked in my books...surprisingly, there isn't a first aid section for, "My idiot cat has contousions in her mouth from biting a decorative knife for reasons unknown." I gave her a few tablespoons of vanilla icecream to ice it. Give me a call." So, I took the aforementioned dimwit in, and my Christmas present was having the entire office laugh hysterically. My vet told me he couldn't really do anything, "except maybe stitch her mouth shut." I was told my moron would be fine, and they sent me home. Persephone is fine...the white lace table runner sustained fatal damage. And I'm sitting here wondering if anyone believes my tales of my adventures with the stupidest cat EVER. Have a fantastic day!
Tuesday brings you good wishes and the thought: The biggest challenge in life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.
