Hello 2010!

I hope the New Year is treating you well so far! You have my best wishes for good health, tremendous joy, grand success and amazing adventures :) I, for one, am not sad to see 2009 take its leave. Perhaps, 2010 will be kinder.

Thank you for the marvelous messages :)

As you may have noticed, my online life has been fairly limited lately. I know you have because I've received numerous thoughtful inquiries asking if everything is ok :) You are too sweet!

I try to keep my posts focused on the subject that brought you to my blog and not on personal stuff. In this case.... I realized that I need to let you know what has been occupying much of my concentration.

My doctor sent me to have a routine test recently. Something odd was noticed. The concern is discolored areas that can indicate cancerous cells. Gulp! In order to find out if I have cancer or not, I had to have a full body scan. Now, I'm dealing with the hard part of waiting for the results.

On top of that ~ A few weeks ago, I introduced you to our new rescued puppy. Jasper disappeared from our yard :( We love our dog soooo much. Jasper even has a blog.... http://jasperthedoggie.blogspot.com Breaking my heart!

Thankfully, life hasn't been all gloom & doom. Several dear friends came to town (from Florida, Texas, England, etc), we discovered two local bands/performers that rock, celebrated birthdays, danced the night away until the place shut down and so on. Things like this are what keep us going through tough spots, right?

I haven't had much time for online fun. When I do log on, your fantastic messages are very uplifting :)

I hope to have good news to share with you soon. That will make us extremely happy.... at least, until the medical bills begin pouring in *grin*

Thank you for standing by me!

I do not have the words to express how much your kindness and concern mean to me... how much YOU mean to me. Your messages are so sweet. My uncle's services were yesterday. I must admit we were a bit paranoid about answering the phone when we made it home afterward. These last few days are such a blur. I appreciate you standing by me through this ordeal! You are the best!

Thank you from my entire family.... and myself, of course :)

You are so amazing & caring!

Thank you all for the concerned cards, emails and comments. Your sympathy has touched not only myself, but everyone in our family. I can not thank you enough!

I'm afraid I have more sad news to share with you.........

Leeser & Poof, from Moonlightline, have had a death in their family also. Lisa's step-father passed away. I know you will join me in sending thoughts & prayers their way.

After these emotionally exhausting days and the long physically exhausting trip for the funeral, we finally arrived home. Everyone was sprawled about the living room trying to regroup... and telling stories. We had not been home for an hour when I received a call from my sister. Another death in our family. Our Uncle passed away. He was a funny and very family oriented man. He will be dearly missed!

Posting on the blog for the next few days

Hi everyone ~

Just want you to know that I may not be able to post as often as usual in the next few days. Unfortunately, we've had a death in the family. An amazing woman has left this world!

During these months of doing the blog & bonding over our mutual addiction to Moonlight, I've come to know what thoughtful people you are so I'm sure you will understand.

XO ~
