To all my friends and readers….
First of all…. I hope you all have been able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Holiday with family, friends and loved ones of all kinds….. including animals!! I feel the most important thing about this time of year is to show plenty of love to the ones we have in our lives and cherish the people around you everyday! I am looking forward to a refreshing start to a new year with hopefully better luck and fortune for my family! How about you…what would the New Year 2009 bring you?!…..
I for one had a sad awakening on Christmas morning when my son texted me by phone that “SANTA DID NOT COME!” to the house. For those of you who do not know…My boys live with their father and his girlfriend of 6 years and her 2 other children. These poor kids awoke to empty stockings and the only tiny presents under the tree were sent up by their (my boys’) grandparents from Florida! My ex-husband was laid-off 2 weeks ago and didn’t even try to make Christmas morning special, despite having lost his job.
He just gave up selfishly and felt since he had no money, he would make no effort whatsoever! NOTHING!
NOT.........
That’s BULL S@%T…..What about the Mother of the house, the Girlfriend and mother of 2 kids of her own?….was she also so selfish as to not even think of the children’s emotions and try to maybe just visit the Dollar Store for a few simple trinkets to put in the stockings hanging above the beautiful and fully functioning fireplace? Nothing breaks my heart more than to feel that these poor kids are not important enough to show the simplest effort on Christmas day and show some love (even without the money for expensive gifts) to make this a special day for 4 of them who still look forward to Santa Claus! Well ofcourse…..THIS Mom made up for it all, as usual!!
Then comes the big blow………
R.I.P Selena !!
This weekend we unfortunately had to bury the sweetest cat ever…..right next to her brother “Shawno” kitty, who had died last month as well:
Our snuggle bunny!
Two cats gone in 2 months!! So sad….These cats with whom my boys grew up with for their whole lives. These were MY first animal babies from my past relationship with their Dad, which were a huge part of my life…..almost 20 years!! It’s funny, but sad how these things just seem to come all at once, like a big snow ball, rolling down a hill, getting bigger and more out of control!
LOOK OUT below.....
I know I’m not alone on this one…. as I’m sure many of you have had some sorrow or misfortune this year and are ready for what 2009 may bring…..Maybe just some luck, health and happiness?
I WANT TO SAY TO MY FRIENDS and to your FAMILIES…… from the bottom of my heart, it’s because of people like you, that I can keep on moving forward with hope and look ahead with optimism and support: SO…..
Here’s to a brand new year!
A clean slate on which to write
our hopes and dreams.
This new year 2009:
Less time and energy on things;
More time and energy on people.
All of life’s best rewards,
deepest and finest feelings,
greatest satisfactions and joy
Come from people–People like you!!
Have a VERY Happy and safe New Year! Peace and Love, Jennifer!
