The good really DOES outweigh the bad - it's all in how you look at it. I admire that you seem to have many more half full kind of days compared to half empty ones. I could take a page or two from your book! <br /><br />I hope you and yours had a great Christmas -- and that you made great memories that you'll look back on for years to come. <3Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648563076032021002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-10021412826779603772011-12-28T00:00:37.580-08:002011-12-28T00:00:37.580-08:00What lovely photos!

I love how you shared your sentiments and reflections on what decorating the tree means to you and what incredible significance it holds. You are such a beautiful spirit! <br /><br />I had to laugh at the football photos! I'm not a big fan of going outside all bundled up and freezing my patootie off on some cold, hard plastic seats either (one year I actually bought this cushion that was supposed to reflect my butt's heat back at me so my rear could stay warm! LOL) <br /><br />Anyway, I hope your holidays continue to be merry and bright, and many blessings to you in the new year! <br /><br />Oh, and I love your blog design! <br /><br />Smiles and hugs,<br />Jenn @<a href="http://www.misadventuresinmotherhood.com" rel="nofollow">Misadventures in Motherhood</a>Misadventures in Motherhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733618217432605890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-13803741624293054722011-12-27T04:27:17.000-08:002011-12-27T04:27:17.000-08:00I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!

And you made me smile and chuckle at your fashion faux pa at the footy lol, no seriously, it was a sexy look, overalls and all. And two bra's lol, it must be freezing over there!!!<br />The ballet looks like it would've been fun :)<br />Thankyou for making my Christmas that bit brighter, you are a sweet, thoughtful person!!<br />Merry Christmas to you and your Steve and your cats xoxoxKerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556700608666234329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-67438869516540551382011-12-25T19:47:28.368-08:002011-12-25T19:47:28.368-08:00YOu have such a cute blog!

I randomly think about you too. In fact, I just now thought about you while in bed unable to sleep. And I got this big smile on my face, because I just have sooo many good vibes for you in the new year. I really feel like something big and exciting is coming your way!<br />Thank you for agreeing with me on the whole *people* thing. I HATE what people decide to say for words of encouragement too!! I COULD NOT agree more-I HATE hearing, "well at least you lost the baby before something bad happened" too. And, "Obviously it wasn't meant to be." It's like, oh, jee, thanks? I feel much better now. -_-<br />I reallllly enjoyed this post, and got all teary eyed over it. I know what it's like to put all of your feelings and emotions into something, and I especially know what it's like to spend an entire night doing it. (we're both vampires remember?? I'm leaving this comment at 4:45am... on Christmas morning. Haven't slept yet) Your house looks beautiful. One of the most beautiful parts has to be the relief you felt after you were done. It's so nice to be able to find peace in things.<br />Thank you for your nice Christmas wishes!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too, and have all kinds of awesome pictures to share with us. I also hope that my creepy late night thoughts about you are true, and that you have a year full of amazing surprises. I am excited to continue following you through next year, and hear all kinds of wonderful news! Until then, take the holidays slow, and enjoy them. You deserve it! <br />much MUCH love <3 Michellewaitingforarainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312022219398776376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300377719002499843.post-8064862168920952482011-12-23T18:13:22.597-08:002011-12-23T18:13:22.597-08:00Happy CHristmas to one of my greatest blogging fri...Happy CHristmas to one of my greatest blogging friends!

I am happy to see that you continue to have happy times with your wonderful friends. You and Kim were certainly well prepared for the cold times. Oh, all the wonderful food including your breakfast is making me hungry tonight in Jamaica. Luckily supper is not too far away. It could do with some of those goodies though! You mentioned candy canes! I just love them! I wish you, Steve, the cats, your family and relatives a very special Christmas 2011! I have found a wonderful friend in the blogosphere!

You...This was breathtaking...like you, my darling! Your pictures were wonderful to look at, and I particularly enjoyed all the decoration pictures. It's fun to see your home, and to imagine myself there one day--enjoying a laugh and a sinful dessert. (Is that super-dee-duper creepy and stalker-ish!??) I LOVED the picture of "peace" at the end! I absolutely adore mine, and I look at it at least four times a day!!! As always, I'm blessed by you.

So pretty!!<br /><br />Maria you are so right, I too think that the good always out weighs the bad! I remember that my first miscarriage was right before Christmas and the next year that Christmas found me going through my fourth miscarriage. Yet the next Christmas I was a mom to the most beautiful 2 week old baby who is now 13! <br /><br />Much love to you! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Having moved several states away from my hometown this summer, I am having a hard time this Christmas. Things really are so wonderful for us, but I am having a hard time not focusing on all I have lost. It's hard. But reading beautiful posts like yours definitely helps! Enjoy your lovely home, your wonderful friends, and your loving husband. We are all so blessed, even when we lose sight of it.

LOL I would love to stop over and have myself a very festive tinkle in that bathroom! Second, If we could mix my first football game experience with your first football game experience we would have had perfect weather! If you recall at my game, Doug would clap and I was splashed by arm sweat! LOL And third, you are right the good always does outweigh the bad. May you have a Christmas full of good this year!
