Merry Christmas Let the Season Take Wing

These stuffed animals all mean something special to me. The big rabbit was given to me as an Easter basket adornment, by David and Terry, the Easter before Terry passed. The little pink pig was given to me by Susan Lurie to keep me safe on my move back to the east coast. The tiger was my mother's. She got it in Germany. She gave it to me when I was scared to sleep alone in the basement when we lived in Hayfield. She would sit outside my room doing jigsaw photos while I fell asleep. She died that Easter. The Gerry Mahoney doll was given to me by my father, the first Christmas after my Mom died. He did such a great job making that a special Christmas for us. The little bear was a gift from a friend to help me feel special. the Kringle Bear was given to me by my friend Donna Lillard the Christmas before I moved to LA. I set that bear in the back seat of my car and it watched over me as I drove cross country. I felt safer!!
All gifts from people who care about me. All people I care about...irregardless of the gift. Treasured memories!

Merry Christmas!!
Last night I went to my church, Marble Collegiate. What a lovely service, singing, hymns, communion and a message of HOPE.
Up now and going to the 11AM service.
I wish happiness, peace, joy, love and HOPE to all!
Let the love begin..with you!
