On July 11th, I'll turn 49 and on July 17th, I'll gain a new Father. It's odd how Life works sometimes because in the 70's he and my Mother worked together but both were married to someone and in the past two years, they've both lost their Spouse. My Mother just turned 69 herself but is acting more like 19! The Wedding will be very small with just their Pastor (Yes, their Southern Baptist), them, my Sister and I. Then the Honeymoon isn't really planned.....just a week or two of travel. I'm very happy for them and hope that they have many more years to enjoy Life together.

I started the Month out really great.....had my Yule Greeting Cards ready and mailed on December 1st and my two Yule Trees done (large one in Livingroom and smaller one in the Grandkid's Playroom). Most of my shopping is done because I'd do a little each week after my appointment at the Spine Clinic and Rehab (my back locked up on me on Halloween/Samhain Night). Then on the 4th, I was "Blessed" with my 9th Grandchild and keeping her 3 year old Brother for 3 days while she and her Mother were in the Hospital so that stopped everything. I've really forgotten what it's like to chase after a child or keep them happy. His other Grandmother came and picked him up early Friday morning so then I was able to finish the decorating outside and finished inside today. Now it's time to start wrapping the Gifts and with my Family that is a major job.

Just wanted to leave this Yule Greeting to anyone that may visit my Profile:

This was Posted by Fairymoon on My Wiccaspace and I liked it so thought I'd post it here:

The Real Woman Creed
By Jan Phillips

I believe that within me lies an extraordinary radiance, and I commit to
letting my light loose in the world.

I believe that the source of my power and wisdom is in the center of my
being, and I commit to acting from this place of strength.

I believe that I possess an abundance of passion and creative potential
and I commit to the expression of these gifts.

I believe that the time has come to let go of old notions and unhealthy
attitudes, and I commit to re-examine what I have been told about beauty
and dismiss what insults my soul.

I believe that negative thoughts and words compromise my well-being, and
I commit to thinking and speaking positively about myself and others.

I believe that young women are in need of positive role models, and I
commit to being an example of authenticity and self-love.

I believe in the relationship between my well-being and the well-being
of the planet, and I commit to a life of mindfulness that regards all
living things as holy and worthy of my love.

I believe it is my spiritual responsibility to care for my body with
respect, kindness and compassion, I commit to balancing my life in such
a way that my physical being is fully expressed and nurtured.

I believe that joy is an essential part of wellness, and I commit to
removing obstacles to joy and creating a life that is full of exuberance.

I believe that a woman who loves herself is a powerful, passionate,
attractive force, and I commit, from this day forward, to loving myself
deeply and extravagantly.

JUST WANTED TO LET MY FRIENDS KNOW THAT I'LL BE OFFLINE FOR THE WEEKEND.....MAKING A TRIP TO ILLINOIS.....SO HOPE YOU.....
