a nostalgic Christmas morning......

(Picture found on the Internet)

It is Christmas morning. The house is so quite.
Faced with the glorious colors and smells of the season, I find myself immersed in a continual outpouring of memories from the past.
I used to love Christmas because I was a kid. A little girl who loved sitting around the Christmas tree and stare at the big Nativity Scene my mother used to make.
As a child, I wrote my letters not to Santa, but to Little Boy Jesus, and my parents used to hide my older sister and my Christmas presents, to put them on the shoes we would place at the chimney, on Christmas Eve.
And we would wake up early on Christmas morning and open all of our presents. And we would be so happy. And all was right with the world.
And though sometimes I still consider myself a child, that feeling is gone. And I miss it so much.
Christmas is not about killing ourselves in the effort to create the perfect holiday. It is not about buying the best gifts, or having the most ornately decorated house in town. Christmas is the time for us to remember the warmth we felt having our families together and happy.
Life is sure to take us places we would much rather not go, and time is bound to move us far away from those we have loved. It is the recollections of the time we spent together that will ease the distance, and fill the void of those missing faces now.
Hang on tightly to those moments calling out to you from years gone by; they are the stuff Christmas is made of.

But nostalgia will go away… and I’ll enjoy this Christmas Day as much as I can with my present family.

To all my dear readers and blogging friends a

Merry Christmas!!!

or if you don’t celebrate it Happy Holidays!

I miss you

Guess.....

.... where am I going to spend my Christmas?

Just a clue......

gift your guy… men's holiday gifts…

So you've found a perfect present for every fashionable female you know, but are totally stuck on what to get for the boys? Not to worry!

Gone are the days when looking good and attractive was the concern of women alone. Now, men are also concerned about their appearance and some may go to any extend to look more attractive than ever. Dress for men is a safe method to increase theirs charm.

Shopping on the Internet for designer clothing for men is actually quite easy to do.
Comfort can meet style in any casually cool mens tshirts - an instant classic in any man's wardrobe!

And some plimsolls are insanely comfortable and fashionably functional.

Whether you are buying for a homebody bro, dapper dad or incognito Joe, you will find a quintessential something for them in Officers Club (a leading men’s fashion retailer based throughout the UK with 110 stores nation wide and growing), filled with spectacular presents for your sophisticated stud.

This is not only practical; many people consider it the only way to shop.


In fact, some of the items are even cool enough for girls, so don't be ashamed to gift yourself too. Ready? Set. Shop!

I don't feel alone Dad...

But I guess I’m missing you more than I usually do with this heart of mine
Thanks for being the best Dad a girl could ever find
I still miss your smile

May the light be with you!!!

Today is the 7Th anniversary of my Father’s loss

to you Mom...

It’s the first time in my life that I don’t hear your voice on your Birthday Mom.
I wish Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

May the Light be with You!

(I have already published this video here on this blog, but it’s just a song I feel so related and shows a bit of my mood that I had to post it again.)

the more I see, the less I know...

Yes, I’ve been hidden…. Why???

Well, mostly for two reasons:

I’ve been sooooooo busy at work that every other thing I do requires much more energy than usually (and it’s not going to end soon);

Also I’ve been with what somehow I could call an existential crisis. I feel that collectively we are here to develop and evolve. As individuals we have different talents and abilities which first of all, we inherently need to express, and secondly are able to contribute to others. We all have something to offer ourselves and each other, and that's what I think we're here to do. We're here to evolve, express, experience and share. However I can't see a way forward from where I am. So this makes me feel bad with me at many levels!!!!

And I just want to be in my shell…

Meanwhile my dear blogger friend Jesse Noe Mendez tagged/awarded me with ~ Staffetta dell'amicizia ~ . Thank you so much my dear friend. I will do a post about it (I don’t promise when….)

Well, the weather has been very good (better than in summer), so today I did like the snail……. catching some sun….
