Perhaps it's time to add the Krampus back to our vocabulary. If we're going to act like we live in a Dickens novel, we may as well think it as well. Anyway... for what it's worth... Happy Holidays to all!

Every now and then I just miss her......

It's that time of year again... when I suddenly get moody and feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat for no reason whatsoever. This has been going on most of my life, so you would think I'd be getting over it by now but .... apparently not. It's not as bad as it used to be, though! <perky smile> I'm not even certain of the exact date anylonger, but this is the week my mother died. I was 15 years old when she passed. It was the result of an auto accident, very unexpected. She was in her mid 30's when she passed. Funny how at 61 I'm finally beginning to realize just how young that actually was! Not much older than my baby, and not that much younger than my oldest. Anyway.... not to wallow or anything.... just sharing that the pain still shows up even with the smiles I finally found not too long ago! Took a long time to find my way to those happy memories of her, and now they are cherished. I miss you Mom. Angel hugs......
