We have watched every Christmas movie that she loves

All the oldies, White Christmas, Holiday Inn, The Bishops Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, and I even persuaded her to watch “The Polar Express”. I hope she enjoyed them because I did.

Last night, I was searching for old friends on Facebook, and I was devastated to learn..

that a friend that I had gone to high school with, and also taken ballet lessons with died last month of a heart attack. We are the same age. This is a wake-up call for me. I have got to get healthy, lose weight, exercise, all that stuff. Mom needs me, and I really don’t want to die, even though I get really depressed sometimes. Starting today.
