Oh yes indeedy! We are so fortunate to be living in our part of the world don’t you think? I just can not believe the horror of that tsunami over christmas and it was enough to almost ruin the ‘holiday’ spirit……so we turned it into the spirit of giving to the needy and it helps assuage the ‘guilty’ type feelings that like to crop up when all is well in our world and all is lousy in someone else’s! Anyhow…….yes we had a really great visit and did lots of ‘visiting’ and had ‘company here’ and went to movies, out to dinners and the like. We were very busy all through the holiday season and it sped on by as always! I hope all of your days were as good too? and that santa did visit you too? hugs, from Shelagh http://clik.to/lupus

Yes, I saw cold on the weather report. Snow is pretty when we’re making snow angels or sitting indoors looking at <g> Not so pretty when we’re standing knee deep and having to shovel long driveway and sidewalk, then shovel again from snowing, then shovel again from plow, then shovel again from snow. I was so glad to see it melt (for now)..phew !… > Nope, I have not heard a word from Grace…. nada. > I hate to call again as she hasn’t responded in kind nor to emails. > I kind of think that just maybe she wants to recupe and get strong without > the thoughts of this illness lupus infringing on her life; after all she got > rid of it and the drugs she was taking for it with the medical treatment > she had….too bad they will only do that when you are very sick with organ > involvement….. but it makes sense with the risks attached…. she has been > through so much and is still fighting strong; let’s hope she gets in touch > with us on her own; she knows we are here and on her side all the way.
I hope she’s okay. I worry when we don’t hear. Hugs to Shelagh from J

Pretty good, Shelagh. Lots of snow shovelling, now it’s milder. I think we have your weather and you have ours. I hear it’s cold out there. Any news of Grace? Hugs J

Yep we woke up to snow on new year’s day! cold and white and pretty! I actually love it and wished it had been on the ground over christmas too; ah well maybe next year. It has already melted away and our skies are clear but cold; brrrr. Nope, I have not heard a word from Grace…. nada. I hate to call again as she hasn’t responded in kind nor to emails. I kind of think that just maybe she wants to recupe and get strong without the thoughts of this illness lupus infringing on her life; after all she got rid of it and the drugs she was taking for it with the medical treatment she had….too bad they will only do that when you are very sick with organ involvement….. but it makes sense with the risks attached…. she has been through so much and is still fighting strong; let’s hope she gets in touch with us on her own; she knows we are here and on her side all the way. hugs from Shelagh

I’m so glad you made the sacrifice and went to the party! I wish I had things like that but….and I’ve said this before, my friends fled like rats on a burning ship when I got sick. I don’t get the invitations like I used to. And, unlike you, I don’t seem able to respond like I should. It’s hard when the energy level is down but after reading your post, I might try to put forth the extra effort next time. I’m glad your son is coming for a visit. It sounds like you have a great holiday planned. I wish you nothing but the best of times! Michael "Shelagh" <n…@myob.bc.ca> wrote in message

Hello to all my NG friends! First of all, Happy Holidays to Everyone and I wish for you all the blessings of peaceful contentment and good health! MY very GT: At 7pm last night I went out with my husband, (yes at night!), across the street to my new neighbour’s open house and while there we met all the people who live in our ‘marina area’ and we discovered that we have even more friendly neighbours than just those we have met over the past 2 years! I found that I had much in common with a few of the other women and I am sure I will see more of several of them in the new year. It was a fun night, lots of good food and a delicious ‘virgin’ punch as well as playing a few games of shuffleboard. We stayed well over an hour and I think I talked and laughed more than I have for a very long time lol! It really felt good to ‘be out’ and dressed up a bit with other people who are ‘healthy’ and most of all?! to feel well throughout the time spent! You see, I almost didn’t go due to having a fever and just generally feeling lousy…. BUT I knew that Wayne was really wanting to go and so I dug deep and pulled up all my resources, got dressed up and we headed out; and while breathing in deep the cold and salty sea air on the walk down the road I could feel my fever cooling and my aches easing and throughout the gathering I truly enjoyed myself! ‘Someone’ was with me last night, someone who loves me, my very own angel. (oh yes, I am very tired this morning but nothing a nap won’t fix!) My son is arriving this afternoon to stay with us till new year’s eve so I am signing off with wishes to you all for the best of the season and hopes that you will feel the warmth of good friends and family through the holidays and into the new year! ’see’ you all next year! 2005! till then, hugs from Shelagh
