Hi Everyone –
I hope your New Year is going great! I got my holiday wish of being able to spend it the way I want to – in all peace and serenity sans the anxiety.
Things not being perfect, of course there was a normal dose of anxiety, but not one that rendered me bed ridden. Nonetheless, I am having happy memories of the recently concluded holiday season. And for this, I am much thankful.
Over the holidays, I got so many skin care sets from well-wishers and friends. I love them all! I have a basketful of body lotions and bath gels and I am having a grand time savoring my bath time, which serves as my private time as well.
One of the favorite presents I got is a Momoberry Hello Kitty hobo bag by Sanrio. It looks quite quirky but nonetheless, I am still so much in love with the adorable wide eyed, keep-mum, “I love you,” cat.
Sadly, I lost one of the presents I got, which is a sterling silver necklace with the Egyptian hieroglyphic translation of my name, a present from my friend who is assigned in Egypt. That’s what caused me much anxiety as I had to scour my whole room looking for it. But after I lamented to my best friends (the gift-giver included), I decided to let it go…
My other best friend also gave me a beautiful filigree medal pendant with semi precious stones and brilliantes set in sterling silver.
Oh, and my son bought me a cushioned lap prop for my laptop. It was so sweet of him to do that.
But the best gifts I had for the season was God’s presence in my life – the awareness that He’s in control of even my mind, because I asked Him in earnest to be with me!
Happy New Year to one and all and I hope you had a blessed season as well!
Gotta Love Me *
