Making many lists and checking them two and three times, lol. I am so behind for this season; it seems like "life" just preoccupies my time mostly. I am counting down the days to the holiday which will be extra special this year.......... adding a few more special people into our lives smile emoticon

While I am on the upswing, this time of year never fails to bring unexpected expenses at the same time I want to buy gifts. Holidays can remind me of the singleness I feel financially, but I am always looking up, and giving what I can........

No matter what the circumstance or situation, I am finding in most cases, life, love and living is a matter of the heart. Out of its overflow, what I am full of, the heart speaks......... some people can understand that "language", others cannot or don't want to.

Hope, hurt, fears, or faith all are flowing out of the place meant to give me life, and share with others.

This past week has been a bit trying, as I seek to expand my "family" of sorts, while figuring out what will really work. Will I be embraced or excluded....... it's always new found territory I find myself in. My heart hurts for a moment, but I am resilient.........
