I had rec'd a phone call the first part of the week asking if I was going to be home today and I told them yes, I don't get out that often so I was excited to get that phone call. Sharon informed me that I was one of the people that was going to be on the list to have Christmas Caroling. My former Sunday School Class wanted to come and sing for me. I was so excited. They came between 1-3pm. My front yard was filled with the children and their parents. It was priceless and I was so happy. They brought tears to my eyes to see them ... their precious faces and their hearts filled with love for me. They stayed a while and each of them hugged me as their parents did. They had stated they were sad I wasn't able to have them the past two years. I explained to them I haven't been doing really well the past few years. I was greatful I was up to it today. I love children so much and I was truly blessed today. My neighbor came out to listen to them as my other neighbor. So I had a wonderful day with my little visitors.

 

It was as I call them "A God Thing".

 

I have been working on our Christmas Cards. I have decided this will be the last year I do them. I could not believe that stamps are now 49 cents. Wayne went yesterday to pick up the stamps and I had no clue they went from 39 cents to 49 cents. I have decided I will call those people I can via the phone to wish them Happy Holidays, or I will e-mail them. But, I will not send out any more Christmas cards as of next year. It's been a real challenge for me. My writing looks like a little childs since my Brain Stem Stroke. :roflmao: But, the good thing is I can write. right? There was a time I couldn't do anything.

I have spent a lot of time just sitting in the Living Room watching my Christmas Tree and reflecting on a lot of things.

My new neighbor, Miranda, came over today for a few hours and we had a nice conversation. I really like her. She is the first person that I have met since my Brain Stem Stroke that I am becoming friends with. I am trying to speak to her about all sorts of things outside of "stroke" ... sorta my being somewhat normal? I'm not sure how to express or explain it. I haven't told her my story, she knows I am in a wheelchair and I have walkers, etc. And she sees the ramp out front of our home. She doesn't ask any questions and I haven't actually told her the Reader Digest's Version of my journey. It's kinda hard to figure out what to talk about. But, we always seem to talk a lot about various things.

She and her hubby are very nice and we are blessed having them as our new neighbors.

Can you believe Christmas is almost here?

My Birthday is in eleven more days. It's the 26th. I am excited about that. I have always been excited for my Birthday, I always feel special cuz that is the day God put me on this earth.

Well, I need to say good night for now, I need to get to bed, I am really tired tonight.

God Bless, Believe In Miracles and SOAR
