Bloom where you're planted and all around you they are blooming. Blessing others, especially at Christmas, is a blessing for the giver. Glad you all got terrific things. :D And so sorry Rick got shingles. Ugh. Very painful. Tell him not to put pressure on the affected area as it seriously increases the risk of nerve damage. Hope he is recovering well. Boy, Vicky, life and its vagaries just keep occurring no matter what else is going on.

Days slip by at times, quite unexpectedly, but I rally somehow. I think I've seen too many, who start letting weeks go by, and then make a big comeback, only to drop from sight again. So I work hard at getting something posted- not always the best writing, etc., but its always me trying at least :)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-21210575008880913242015-01-12T12:41:01.173-06:002015-01-12T12:41:01.173-06:00Thank you Karen!

What a beautiful expression of love to your family--and your precious son asking for an angel for you--I am tearing up again just thinking of his love for you. And I am hurting for your Superman--I had shingles last spring and can truly feel his pain. I feel like I slept forever--and I went thru a bottle of calamine lotion and a box of Domeboro to try to keep the lesions dried out. Not fun. {{{hugs}}} and prayers for healing.sharonw05https://www.blogger.com/profile/08241577598370972685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-12615044453117765322015-01-09T12:54:29.268-06:002015-01-09T12:54:29.268-06:00Oh what a lovely lovely thing, Burger King.

"We always get an angel for Mom at Christmas"...ah... the traditions are memorized in his sweet heart. And to top it all off, an angel that said "you are braver than you know"<br /><br />And then to hear about your Mom back in the ER and that Rick has shingles<br /> (I have had them)...well, thank goodness for Jesus and being carried during times such as these. The roller coaster of uncertainty.
