I wish I could write personal greetings to each of you. Since this is not doable, please be assured: my blog posts are just as heart-felt, as if I had sat down and visited with you all.

A few days ago, dear friends came and helped me decorate for Christmas. A far cry from a year ago when I spent Christmas in the hospital, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day in rehabilitation, then back in the hospital for another week.

It has been a long recuperation, but God continues to walk with me and goes before me. Family and friends plus help from several programs enable me to stay in my home.

May you be blessed during this “holy-“day season of remembering Whose birthday we celebrate.

Love, prayers, and gratitude,

Colleen

Getting ready for Christmas can leave us frazzled. Try my recipe for a time-out during the holidays. 

A quiet room, warm cocoa, a good book
