thank you to all of you who posted such supportive comments or emailed me.
like always...things have improved.
i am so blessed to have the support of my gorgeous husband and despite my occasional whinging about them, my three beautiful kids. mark was especially supportive and sat and listened to me rant and rave for hours one night before just putting his arms around me and giving me what i think i needed the most...a great big hug and the reassurance that it is ok to be sad when sad things happen. each day he has been encouraging me to look for the good in things - even when the situation is sad or uncomfortable.
i am truly one very lucky woman to have a man so great to love and care for me.
i also have a very close friend who i can call on day or night and he is such a wise man and very supportive too. he reminds me to keep breathing and never stop smiling.
such a blessing in my life as well.
if i let the awful things that people sometimes say and do, rule how i feel and live my life, in a way they have hurt me twice. they win, if you like and my reaction validates what they have said or done, even if it's the wrong thing.
so again....my heartfelt thanks to all of you out there in cyberland.
had a great time at the EMM christmas crop and dinner on sunday.
it was wonderful, as always, to spend time with the totally gorgeous ruthy and diana.
to see carol-lea again and to meet all the lovely EMM ladies i have been chatting with for ages..
secret santa also popped in unnoticed and left me a gift under the tree -
NOT TO BE OPENED TIL CHRISTMAS DAY
- how on earth can i be expected to wait that long...???
i managed to scrap three of the calendars i am altering for christmas gifts - which is no mean feat when you realise just how much chatting and laughing and looking at what others were doing, went on.
it was a very hot, steamy day, culminating in a HUGE storm complete with a great sound and light show and lots of rain.
i can't believe how dry the ipswich area and the darling downs are - very sad.
i was surprised they are only on level 4 restrictions...i remember clearly being on level 5 restrictions and being just days away from level 6.
seems like a lifetime ago.
i spent sunday night at ruthy's and although i was SOOOO tired, i think ruthy and i managed to fit in a good deal of chatting.
it's so wonderful when you just click with someone and i think ruthy and i have done just that.
ruthy clarke, you are one of the most gorgeous, generous, honest people i know and i feel so blessed that i can call you my friend.
thanks again for putting me up (or is that putting up with me...???) and thanks to gorgeous em for so generously giving me her bed for the night.
my next visit will be a longer one, i promise...!!!
so much happening with the lead up to christmas...we have a busy few weeks ahead with school things and christmas parties and visitors staying overnight and all the hectic hustle and bustle that goes with the christmas season.
in saying that...it's time to scoot off into town to pick up some pics and some more notebooks to cover.
enjoy your day everyone.
look for the things that make you smile
~~ and remember, let those you love, know that you do ~~

So glad you had a great time at the EMM crop. Knew you would!! Wish I had been there. ;)
I am SO pleased to hear that things are a little better for you...I have been thinking of you. And as for Mark "putting his arms around me and giving me what i think i needed the most...a great big hug and the reassurance that it is ok to be sad when sad things happen" -- he is THE GREATEST ! My Elliot just gives me a stupid look...LOL. Glad to hear you had a great time at the crop :)
