Christmas is Over, New Years Will Soon Be Here

Well we made it thru Christmas. It wasn't the same this year. I didn't get a lot of things done this year that I usually do. Such as I usually send lots of cards. I sent a few but not as many as I usually do. I have pen pals that I have written too for years and usually I send all of them a card. I did send some though like I said. Usually I make my entry way closet door a place for my cards. I put wrapping paper and a big bow in the middle and put my cards. Not this year.

One reason I didn't get to everything was I was still getting over the laser surgery I had I guess. It took  along time to get over even though I got out of the hospital after a few hours. Recovering was a month longer. But I was so happy at Christmas all of that is behind me.

My son Allen made my Christmas a lot better. First of all he sent me $500 to help out on Christmas. I got me a mani and pedi to make myself feel better. I got a Jewelry Armoire since my son John broke off the legs moving it back here from Sweetwater. Later Allen sent me $200 more to help a few people I knew who wasn't going to have a very good Christmas. My next door neighbor wasn't going too and she has a 15 year old daughter. I made them baskets of all kinds of stuff in it with gift cards. Then my daughter Jana knew two small children who wasn't going to have a very good Christmas so we bought for them. Allen does the angel tree every year so he said they would be his angel this year.

Guy and I had went our separate ways too for awhile. I was just so sick when I was in Sweetwater and on meds and was sleeping day and night. I just wanted to come back to my home here in Fort Worth and I am very happy here right now. Around family a lot. Guy and I are trying to work things out. So far it is great.

Wondering if I should take the tree down tomorrow or if it is better luck to keep it up until the new year. I want 2015 to be a better year than it was this year. I have new year resolutions to make. And I plan on eating cabbage and black eye peas with corn bread. How about you?
