I'm so sorry I didn't notice your birthday! Was there a post on the board? I come on every day; but, I don't notice every thread. It's so huge, now...I'd never get anything done in 'the real world'! <g>
More importantly, I'm sorry you're feeling a loss. It's been a pretty hard month for me, too - but, I won't go into that - not my thread
. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your sil. Since my mother died, my birthdays have been especially 'vacant' without her birthday card with the traditional $1. Yes, just one dollar. It's a family thing
.
Can you get out of the house a little? How's your weather there? We are having a most gorgeous December here in VA. But, I can not get out and enjoy it because of obligations at home. I'm just saying, sometimes, a walk around town can do a lot to improve our mood, and keep things in perspective.
Please accept yorkie *kisses* from Miss Abbie - until you have one of your own.
