It's been a little crazy at the HHL household lately. Cold weather is not friendly to my joints and bones and throw in some Med changes ...and you now how the ingredients for dark and gloomy days.
But Friends know just how to brighten your day...
First, a surprise visit from my bestie from New York. She came to spend the day, before heading out to Winnipeg for a business trip. Along with her wonderful laughter filled visit, she brought this beautiful arrangement. One can't help but smile when loking at these lovelies and remember warm days.
Mr. G made us a wonderful dinner of penne a la vodka with turkey fillet and even remembered dessert, a wonderful strawberry shortcake (no he did not bake it..but did remove it from its package,and thaw it) ...
The next day a card arrived in the mail from my friend R. she always knows just what to say...
But it doesn't stop there ... even in a snow storm ...
The universe is making sure my days are bright with reminders,
of how blessed I am...
In the morning mail was this adorable and thoughtful package from my special bestie;
you know her as Suburban Princess from The Life of a Suburban Princess
Along with early Valentine wishes ...these socks have me
smiling ear to ear!!
I am truly blessed ....
Thank you to all of you who have left wonderful encouraging and supportive comments and emails. With a little push and butt kicking help from my Friends I'm gaining strength and keeping the faith!
For some warmth and smiles
Don't forget to visit Dolce's blog

ReplyDeleteYep, where would we be without friends?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers!
There is always a rainbow at the end of a storm. You found yours with all these goodies and well wishes. Also, there is a light at the need of the tunnel. It is just some of the tunnels are longer than others.
ReplyDeleteSee? You're so loved!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and gorgeous gifts, just what the Doctor ordered! xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that things are improving - it's great to have the love and support of family and friends (fun, colorful socks help, too!) That floral arrangement is gorgeous - are those Birds of Paradise? So pretty. :)

I think friends just know how to brighten our days. I think they are the best! Love the flowers the early Valentines. What a way to start the month off. Blessings
ReplyDeleteI can see you have some thoughtful people in your life, and the socks make me smile.
ReplyDeleteGotta love surprises!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really have some wonderful friends there. : )
ReplyDeleteCold weather can be gloomy, but on the other hand it's the weather of snuggling into bed and eating yummy hot comfort foods like mashed potato. I like it much better than the boiling heat of summer, which we've had lately, with days over 40 degrees Celcius. At least it's cooled down today.
Hope you have a great weekend, High Heeled! : )

what wonderful friends you have
ReplyDeleteDearest Celia,
ReplyDeleteWell, with you I'm longing for spring for better weather. Today is the first day in two weeks that I'm without pain in my back, neck etc. Got a bit panicky that I might end up being paralyzed again, like in January last year. But we have to look up and believe in the good days; hard for not being depressed at times. Such a post is refreshing to read and it gives all of us hope. Friends that help you literally back on your feet with fun socks and great flowers; a visit, laughter...
Today I got to see the bridal gown of our God daughter in The Netherlands; that lifted my spirit up tremendously. My friend of 46 years standing, missed me for being there with her daughter and our God daughter for the bridal gown selection... But in spirit we were there and we will live towards the wedding day!!!
A tight hug and lots of love + support,
Mariette
Nothing like love and warmth form your dear ones....
ReplyDeleteTake care my dear
see how well you are loved? you deserve
ReplyDeleteevery gesture!
What fantastic friends you have1 Those flowers are beautiful! Love your socks too :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteCelia,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. Hope you are on the mend and feeling better soon. I too have been under the weather for days with a relapse of my auto-immune disease and in unbearable pain. What a lucky girl you are to get such a gorgeous flower arrangement! Give Dolce a big kiss from me.
Mary
Aren't friends great?! Gorgeous flowers!
