Good morning! I am wishing you a Happy New Year–One much, much better than this past year! A year we will look back on and say–yes this is how it should be. One where we will stop letting ourselves to herded into running scared at every turn. I don’t know about you but I am tired! Tired of being told how things are bad–I know how bad they are. Tired of seeing our own doing without or just squeaking by while our resources, go to “save others” that I actually think don’t want to be saved. Also just being tired!!!
Did I stay up last night to watch the ball fall welcoming 2010? No! I have watch more than 50 of these balls fall. Did I carry on the family tradition of eating fish at midnight? No because it never made the year any better to live through.
This last year I lost my last sibling leaving me the only child left of my parents union. My dear friend lost her husband just days before the year ended. Many of those wonderful people that were an important part of my life and even people I had just begun to know have left. To go to a better place? I don’t know about that! What could be better than to be surrounded by the people who love you for who you are.
True I have spent the last few days feeling like I am drowning in my own fluids. Wondering how the human body can continue to produce disgusting mucus, the feeling of choking, and the aches from coughing my head off. This dear friend is why the general theme of this post is a downer.
But things are slowly getting better and I’m determined to work toward an even greater year than those in the past. With that I repeat my wish for your happier New Year with better health, greater prosperity, and new hope for the year to come.
Right back at ya, dear friend! Hoping your nose (& fluids) cooperate and start acting right, so you’ll feel a bit better each day!
LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, ya know?
Hugs;
Pammie
the Times, they are achangin’ Happy New Year!

hope you are feeling better soon…
A lot of older age friends this end not knowing how fill New Year and so wobbly about some. I too didn’t care re supersition, I hung up new calenders before time, which younger son has always not allowed me to do for sake of bad luck – we can’t have mych worse can we what with the credit crunch, bombers etc etc. I even suddenly got disappointed re Elvis when learnt from Priscilla his wife on a prog on our TV here last Saturday that he was bit male chauvinist and prob died because couldn’t get all his own way espec when she dumped him!! His anger ate him up, have always wondered about this and due to depression and anxiety too.
(Know some of this because have taken tablets to keep self going for over thirty years appar due to anxiety gone over top top Dr. once confirmed to me, but have battled on and tried mostly to keep smiling!! Bought tickets to go see our Elvis Impersonator again in March, shall have to see how feel nearer the time. As told Radio Presenter perhaps a bit late in my life to wobble re him now. Have indeed ordered a new book Elvis 56 showing ad lib photos taken back then, and as just told radio presenter on e mail that was when we all really loved him so much, being fourteen yr olds about then!! Trouble is none us older ones have much to look forward to any more now. Our Daniel O’Donnell singer due in The Old Oprey June coming but we cannot afford to go, but will be able to see this on DVD later in this year. Still as an old friend in Wales always say, you never know what lies around the corner! Marion with love
