Tis the Season...

So far the Holiday shopping season is going well. People are generally still smiling. This will all change however. 1 week before Christmas day, people turn ugly. Smiles are replaced by furrowed brows and frowns with impatience and grumbling becoming the norm. I, however, will continue to smile and bring a ray of hope and a reminder of patience to those I serve. I have sold many crystals to people whose lives are limited here on earth and who buy my products in the hopes of leaving a reminder of their love to their family, doctors, caregivers, & friends before they leave for a better place. I sometimes get tears in my eyes as they tell me their stories (imagine that!). And then I am reminded of how thankful I am to have a healthy and happy circle of family and friends. Thank you all for being there for me. And for those of you who have turned away from yours, please take this to heart. We are limited in our time here and should be thankful for all we have. Take a look at your life and those who are connected to you. Are you fulfilled and happy? I truly hope so. Bless you all and have a joyous and happy Christmas Season!

Megan the Tourist

Beautiful Country

I just received an email from my daughter Megan. She has been touring the country of Scotland. I am soooo impressed by the beauty of it all! I can't imagine how overwhelmingly beautiful it would be to see it in person! Megan, I am glad you did not get eaten by the Lochness Monster! I am also thankful that each individual in my family are all safe and sound. Even though we will be separated from each other, (Megan comes home right before Christmas), I will keep you all in my heart and pray for happiness and good health. God Bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving! I love you!

Just A Quick Note

OK....soooo...you haven't heard from me in awhile. I'm soooo busy right now I have no time to chat unless, of course, you visit me in the mall. Business is picking up so it's becoming more difficult to do that as well. But don't let that scare you away from stopping by to say "hi". It may be the only way you hear from me for awhile. I'm having fun, however and will not complain about the business. "It's a Good Thing"! Hee Hee.

A Much Needed Break...

After working nonstop for the past 2 weeks I finally get a much needed reprieve. My two employees are covering the weekend shifts for me! Even though I have the days off I don't really have time for rest. I'm busy catching up on cleaning. I honestly believe Rick has obliterated this activity from his brain as he has not offered to do any of it. I will admit he has been doing his own cooking and he does clean up after himself, so that earns him a few points. However, since cleaning is not the activity I would choose as a priority on my days off, I do realize that it must be done by someone. And if not me...than who? Maybe while I work I should hire a maid. I think that sounds like a good idea. I have more than enough work to do for the business and, quite honestly, it is stressful enough to say the least. I realize it is short-lived so I have fun with it and enjoy the challenge. Today we celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday. Most of the family was there (minus our kids) and it was much fun. Happy Birthday Mary (on the 14th)! I talked to my daughter, Megan, yesterday. She had a wonderful time last weekend in Paris and visited Stonehenge yesterday. She tells me that she met and spoke to a famous actor (who apparently is reeeeeally cute) the other night. I don't have details but suffice it to say that she was hoping he would ask her for a date (hee hee). It's all sooo amazing over there! She is soooo lucky to have this great opportunity! I'm glad she's having a great experience but I will miss her over the Thanksgiving Holiday. I'm just hoping that one of my children will be able to spend time with us. Ahem....and you know who I mean! Well...no more random thoughts. It's late and I'm exhausted. I'll bid you all adieu and wish you well. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
