Tired today, but got our tree up!!!
Drank too much coffee last nite, but Ted and I got the tree up. He did the lights, and it looks great! It is a comfort using mom and dad’s tree, and I had something special happen, at least it seemed that way to me. I found 2 ornaments I had never seen before, one is a pheasant(dad’s favorite bird) and a red cardinal (mom’s favorite) was like they are there blessing the tree. Lots of memories hung on that tree, some of the ornaments are older than I am(now that is old, lol) But I love it, and as much as I wasn’t sure I wanted to celebrate this year, now I am glad. A good friend told me it would be good for me to carry on the traditions, and I think dad would like that.
I am still undecided about cards, and I still need to do thank you cards, just need to find time to do it.
Please pray we find homes (at least temporary) for mom’s 2 cats. Need to get her stuff out of her apartment.
Ok, now for my good news! I am getting a raise in January, and we will get $500.00 Christmas bonus this year!!!
I am real excited about that. Oh and another prayer request, Ted’s daughter wants him to come to see her at Christmas, but he doesn’ty have the money, and I won’t get my bonus in time, plus I may need to help mom with it.
So, much as I want Ted here, if he can go, I think he should, it is his daughter after all. And the holidays are hard for him since he can’t see her.
Anyways, that is what is new here, I survived yesterday without getting anymore pie, and I will not have any today, either. I did do my cardio max workout, that is a tough one!
Good luck to all the teams weighing in! Don’t forget to report your results to Dr Marc’s blog!
Hugs to you all!

Glad you put up the tree…and how cool to find those two ornaments
The oldest ones are my favorites…lots of memories.
Congrats on the raise, the bonus and avoiding the evil pie…I havent been as lucky and think I need to throw it away.
Stay strong Kama! Love ya!!
I love the old ornaments too! So glad you found those. Nothing like putting the Christmas tree up to get you in the mood either-good for you.
Awesome about your raise and BONUS! Cool! Hope everything works out for Ted to go see his daughter over the holiday. Take care Kama!
I cried reading the first few paragraphs. Just like Kama to make the heart ache a little. I’m happy for your sweetheart.
Ohhhhhh,I knew you were getting a raise! You deserve it and a bonus! Awesome sweetie.
I hope things work out and Ted gets to see his daughter. Nothing like the holidays to bring loved ones together.
Love you - can’t wait for work. hehe
Thanks for the comment! Congrats on the weight loss, that’s really inspiring to me. I’m happy you put the tree up & kept the tradition..it’s such a nice memory. I will pray for you (: Thanks again for the welcome!
I’m glad to hear you decided to celebrate this year. I think the keeping the tradition thing is a good idea, and I think that you can still feel close to your father, like he is still around.
Finding the 2 ornaments must have been wonderful!
Oh man, girl…finding those ornaments touched my heart….only imagine what it did to yours!!
I am sooo happy your being blessed financially…man, if anyone deserves for things to work out right…you sure do.
much love Debbie
Kama, I’m glad I told you that the traditions would keep you grounded. I know it’s harder this year with everything being what it is…but it is a good thing and it was meant for you to find those ornaments. Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to! I have faith, my friend!
Awww, that is so sweet Kama and I agree with your friend, you should by all means, keep those Holiday traditions, it helps keep the memory of your dad alive, meaning you will feel like he is with you, presently! I don’t know if I am explaining it right!! Anyway, you are full of good news today, thank God things are looking up!!
Finding the ornaments is like a blessing. You have a strong spirit. Congratulations on your raise! Reading your blog is always uplifting.
