Ed is right, I know for myself, a large part of my JOY in life is seeing the joy that others get from various things that I do. My "biggie" is decorating my home at Christmas. My daughter's often grumble about that, because I call on them for help. I have come to terms with reality, there are some things I just don't do anymore, climbing up a ladder to put decorations up for the Holiday's in one of the 'biggie's" !! No more ladder's for me...been there done that and I have the scars to prove it, LOL ! Occasionaly my daughters will ask if I am going to decorate as usual, with a tree in every room. My answer is yes, as long as I am able with a little help from other's. They enjoy the decoration's, so I feel since they enjoy them as much as I do, it's no big deal to give me a few hours work shortly after Thanksgiving. The part that isn't fun, is taking everything down and getting it in storage until next year. You should see my wine cellar ! No room for wine, Christmas decor is stuffed into every corner of it !! LOL The upside with no wine, I don't have to rotate bottles ! LOL Beryl Eshom Arelee Davis, CA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
