RESOLUTION TIME

It's that time of year when you begin to think of New Year's resolutions. I never keep them so I was reading Charisa's blog and saw this quote:

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a attractive well preserved body; but rather to skid sideways,champagne in one hand,strawberries in the other, body thouroughly used up,totally worn out and screaming Woohooo... What a ride!."

I want to add to this---I want to do everything to make my skid last a long time.

Waddling and wishing everyone a great 2010..............

POST HOLIDAY

As always Christmas goes too fast. There was something different about this year and I can't quite put my finger on it. We all wanted this year to be extra special. The reason is that next year Bino will not be here with us but most likely overseas somewhere with the Army in a tank.


The gifts were all chosen with extra thought and care. There was not one that was without meaning. I received many that I will hold close to my heart. The one that I will keep close to me was from Bino. It was an Army bear. It had a special bag. When I opened it Bino said, "Next year Mom when I am not here and you miss me just give the near a hug." WOW. Talk about the tears running down your cheeks.

House's gift blew me away also. It was a newspaper article written about my father who is 87. The photos is of him holding my kids pictures in his living room. House had it laminated and framed for me. Again---WOW.

Hooch and her boyfriend also made me smile with a set of special penguins for my collection. They are awesome.

I believe Christmas is not about the gifts but in this case the meaning behind all the gift made it different. Every Chistmas I feel that this one is the most memorable but again I think this one is it.

Waddling after a great Christmas day.........
