...You certainly have had a rollercoaster of a year.<br /><br />I feel lucky in so so many ways. To have all the people I love be safe and healthy, living in great comfort in a place of beauty. I could elaborate but really that is all anyone could ask for.<br /><br />Merry Christmas .xx.flossy-phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207372419069284680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-58958969562954367012011-12-24T08:54:34.773+11:002011-12-24T08:54:34.773+11:00Hmmm, sounds like your cleaning your head space a...Hmmm, sounds like your cleaning your head space as well as your house. Me too! 10 garbage bags of crap have left this building over the last 2 weeks!! <br /><br />I'm lucky because I get the opportunity to do what I want to do. I want to be a "mostly home" parent, I do that. I want to work casually, I do that. I want to make and create, I do that. I want to give to charity (I'm on my 3rd kiva loan), I do that. I want to love, hug, cry, support and be with my loved ones, I do that. I don't live in fear of saying my piece, I don't fear for my children's future and I have the support of good medicine and education for our family. Yes Cathy, lucky, very lucky indeed. <br /><br />Merry merry to you and yours xxLeonie @ Cuppa and Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00803212715916250588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-10334305983619345582011-12-23T07:02:26.180+11:002011-12-23T07:02:26.180+11:00I love the way you think, Ms Chooky.

I thank my lucky stars every day that I have a happy, healthy child. It doesn't matter what else happens, these gifts are SO MUCH MORE than many people live with each day.<br /><br />Wishing you and yours a happy and safe holiday season and a fabulous 2012, Cath. xxxnNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330947653655808973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-1953620322821245212011-12-23T01:25:05.731+11:002011-12-23T01:25:05.731+11:00This is so true.

Tonight at work I had a photo of a little boy, tiny thing, who was shovelling mud out of his home In the Philippines which had been flooded in Washi. I thought to myself how that was how he was going to spend Christmas. I truly feel lucky.Kelliehttp://74liemlane.com.au/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-53014393770454455152011-12-22T22:47:44.919+11:002011-12-22T22:47:44.919+11:00Such a beautiful post.

I often remind myself of how lucky I am, and continue to throw out bags of stuff to the oppie too. It makes me feel good in so many ways.Claireyhewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04848058653374768316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435525396415770169.post-31297783692888648812011-12-22T11:36:49.493+11:002011-12-22T11:36:49.493+11:00What a beautiful post.
