Yes, it's hard to do sometimes...I'm in almost constant pain from a bad back and neck (car accident yrs ago) but if I don't look at life from a childs point of "view", I'd just...sit down. <br />If I have to drag myself into that darn kitchen, I do...Don't feel like smiling? I just do...Don't feel like going out? Who really gets left out? Me, so I Smile, Laugh and say "Oh Well, It'll probably be fun", and Go. <br />I'd be SO happy to never leave the house again!Hahaaa...but it's just not right. I know how you feel about it all but when I look around me and see the faces of those that Love me...I just can't face the hurt looks on their faces if I'm always saying no...<br />I'm SO proud of you for getting IN that kitchen! I have cookies to bake when I get home from work today...Do I WANT TO???Hahaaaa...NOOOOOO!!! But I Will! <br />When I "give"...I "get" in ways that are FAR more wonderful than I could ever dream of...<br />I will always remember that Santa IS us...and it keeps me going All year long...<br />Loving you today Nita!<br />hughugsDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181520825012037531noreply@blogger.com
