Hi Sharon,

thanks for the positive thoughts and prayers. I don't know if you realize it, but it really makes a difference for me : ) No matter how down in the dumps I am, praying always helps, giving me an insight and a lift of my spirits, letting me know that no matter what challenge arises, I can face it and will come out a stronger person.

Thanks sweetie and I am trying sooooo hard to not throw up!!!!! : )

Cheers,

~Janine~

PS A good thing I have been trying to remember is that social gatherings, family get-togethers- and holiday partys/dinners....are really about PEOPLE, not FOOD. About being around people, family, friends, enjoying on e another....plus, a cookie or whatever will always be there another time, all the cookies are NOT leaving the planet tomorrow!!! LOL

Hi Sharon, thanks for popping in and for the prayers. Of course I agree with Janine, prayer (and God in my life) makes SUCH a difference. I couldn't have made it this far without either one and I certainly couldn't have made it through last year before I had my surgery. Occasionally I still have bad days, kind of like before surgery minus the excruciating pain, and I honestly don't know how I did it day after day for months and then I realize it's God.


Anyway, try to enjoy the holidays for what they are and the people (like Janine said). I know that's so had when everybody else seems to be excited about the food, but maybe if we start setting an example we can make small changes.

Love & hugs, Kristina
