Feels so great to be back reading your blogs and learning new ways of dealing with our common obsession. Seeing lots of old friends and soooo many new ones. I had a great Christmas. Cooked Christmas dinner for eleven. Doctor (pain management) advised me not to cook and lift big meals but I figure why be alive if you can’t do the things you enjoy most. I was careful and moved slowly (and hopefully, gracefully) with my chores. This was my first holiday as a vegan and I made a large turkey with all the side dishes and sent all the leftovers home with family. I had a baked sweet potato and apple salad. Sure missed Ed. This is the third year since his death. I feel he is nearby, but needed him to help with the washing of mixing bowls as I went along. I must tell you about the trial and three days I spent in court as the defendent, being sued for $100,000. Suffice it to say I won and lived through the ordeal. Maybe just a little crazier then usual. I did go a little nutty and ate some corn chips and guacamole during the holidays but all in all kept control. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We will shine this year… our faces will glow with health. We will walk proudly with the knowledge we are improving every day in every way. Just a little slip now and again is allowed. Just get right back on that horse that threw you. Love and hugs to all, Marge
