Thoughts about the church parties I went to as a child.The hall where today I smiled .............................................
The adults set the scene Trimmed the tree Hung stars at the windows Put holly on window sills
They wrapped presents someone’s Uncle became Santa planned with precision the Sunday school party
each year for all of my childhood always on Christmas Eve a rolling booking in the church hall tradition and set in memories bank
long tables set with goodies ice cream at half time the hush when the lights went off someone’s baby sister always cried
but I knew the format saw the nod ..the wink worked out the system smallest to the tallest
for me….a baby boomer a war just newly past knew nothing of hostility just warmth and joy and God
My turn now to serve there Same hall same church same God Lingering kindly in the shadows Those lovely folks of old

I smiled today because the UPS man dropped off the Christmas present I ordered my 90 year old MOM and it was perfect. I had been looking in all the stores but found it online instead. Just what I was looking for, the color, size and style. Mom will love it.

I smiled when I got a bunch of goodies at our local animal shelter's flea market. (Yes, appropriate event at an animal shelter!) The money goes to help the animals and we get some bargains - win/win!

I'm smiling as I read what has made all of you smile.
I smiled ear to ear this morning while witnessing the Philadelphia Marathon as a spectator. My heart was so full of joy I even teared up. So many nationalities joining together in such a healthy way. People standing on the side cheering and calling names as runners went by. Some runners bulged with muscles, while others had cellulite just like mine. So many boomers. So many women boomers. Saw a man juggling, a woman talking on the phone, friends running together, serious runners leading the pack, people attempting to do so in wheelchairs. It was inspiring to think that all 10,000 people trained for this one event. Such determination, dedication, and splendor. I felt blessed to be a part of it. There were kids on shoulders cheering as Mom ran by, balloons, bottle waters being thrown about, dogs barking, people cheering by name for every person who ran by with their name on their shirt. I witnessed lots of smiles as I sat there with my morning orange juice and apple danish wondering how I would ever get back to the other side of the street. So many runners. So much bliss.

I smiled at the reaction from my grandson when I asked (after our TG dinner Sunday) if he would like to play Candyland with me. His face lit up. He was playing with some cars by himself, being a good boy, but just need a little attention from his Mammaw.

Louisa sent me her BWS Christmas card labels and saved me a lot of time, something that's getting harder to find these days. Thank you Louisa!

LOL Diamond50 - we have cooling (as in freezing) breezes returning here - and it's very nice to be INSIDE. Brrr. But it's the first sunny day in a long time, so that makes me smile through the frost on our windows!

I smiled today when the weather report told me it snowed here in Daytona Beach early this morning. Yes, there were flakes mixed in with rain and I missed it, again. I missed it 3 years ago too. I keep missing it! I was born in Canada so I know snow, but keep missing it here where it isn't supposed to snow. What else am I missing?

I smiled..then giggled...then hooted, big belly laughs and all as I watched celtic_flame realize she had posted under my identity! Oh bless, I could not help it....her blushing was endearing and hilarious at the same time. I trust you Ladies will afford her the same grace, kindness and wit that I received when I signed up. I think I will smile all day. Kathy, if it's ok...can I mail you a photo of celtic soon...so you could help set it up? Thanks.

I'm smiling because we just saw our brand new (2 hour old) grandson. Hubby (Papy) is beaming. Big sister (all of 5 years old) isn't so sure because it's turning out to be a rather topsy-turvy day for her, but we're all very grateful for his safe, healthy arrival!

Vicki, he's so handsome! Love those eyes. Ours opened his eyes a little bit today, and I finally managed to get a picture of his sweet face. His big sister (5 years old) is madly in love with him, except when he cries. She spent the day at our house and couldn't wait to go to the hospital to see him again.

I smiled today because I am finally on my feet and feeling much better after a nasty bout with the flu. It feels good to "hear" all the chatter again.
I smiled today because I caught up with previous posts when I was away from BWS and was wished well. Many thanks.
I smiled today because I have just finished wrapping my gift for my BWS Kris Kringle which I shall send off tomorrow morning. I hope she likes it.

Lola, It's good to "see" you again and hear your voice. You were missed!!
I had my annual flu shot a week ago so am hoping that will keep the big bad bug away for another year.
I sure wish we lived close enough that we could all make and bring you some homemade chicken soup to help make you feel even better.

Lola, that's interesting that you had your flu shot the week before you got sick. I got my flu shot last Wednesday, and I've been so crappy since Thursday. Not only terrible headaches (very unusual for me) and heavy fatigue, but every muscle is aching, I feel generally unwell, and my spirit/mood has been erratic and dismal for several days now. I was feeling perfectly well (and reasonably happy) before the shot...all of this unwellness hit me like a brick the day after the shot. I wonder if there's a connection.

Hi, Eagle: Except for the moods, that's how it started with me. A few days after the jab. My daughter said that it actually takes a month for the jab to work and because I was not sleeping well for the past month prior, my immunity was not up to par. You have been quite busy running around and helping out with your brother so fatigue must contribute to it. Try to rest. I think I pushed myself too far and did not do that when the early symptoms crept in which is why I ended up with a full blown flu.

This is such a nice thread. I lost it for a while and now I'm smiling because I found it again! It's the middle of my night and for some reason I couldn't sleep.
26 years ago tonight I wasn't sleeping either. I was walking down to the hospital nursry asking for my newborn daughter...she was only a few hours old and I missed her...before the days of rooming in! Now, I'm smiling with that memory!

I am smiling today because 'the goods and services act' which was being apposed by the leading party in Stormount(our wee supposed parliment) was preposed by every one else. Which means the right wing, fundamentalist (who hate everyone who isn't white, protestant and male) did not get their way. So women like me can not be discriminated against in shops, hotels...or any other public or private service providers.
The ground breaking changes in NI are long awaited for and have been so slow. But....watch this space!!

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! About time as well. It has always puzzled me why this legislation did not manage to be enforced across the board for the UK in the first place.

Hi Lola, those in opposition, the DUP,(DISCRIMINATION USUAL POLICY)came up with the most ludicrious twaddle as to why they were opposing the Bill. I read the whole Stormont debate yeaterday and it made for some reading I can tell ya!!!!In one sense we are so archaic in our policies...but then look at where the First Civil Partnership was held in Britian. Yup, here at home in good ole Belfast, with the eyes of the world upon Shannon and Grainne. How brave were they??? Did you see 'The Wedding'....the documentary about the gals whole run up to the big day???
It would have taken tears from a stone.....but then I would cry at the drop of a hat!!

Hi, Popea: You give an entirely new meaning to the acronym of DUP. And it stands to reason, I must say. Yep, I have read the threadbare arguments against it. It's so threadbare it can float and dissipate. Mind boggling, to say the least. What's the public support like outside party opposition and organizations? No, I have not come across "Wedding..." You and Celtic make me smile. The Irish and Scottish counterpart of French and Saunders!

Funny lady Lola.... In a recent' MORI' poll showed two thirds or more are in favour of 'civil partnerships' and all equal rights concerning the L.G.B.T community in the North and U.K. "The Wedding" was previewed in on T.V recently over here and I thought you might have seen it. Popea. So...Celtic and I are becomming a double act ..eh..how sweet?

I smiled today because I re-read all the posts in the "danita" (please pray for forum)...and it was just a blessing to see all the prayers and good wishes from all of you.
I am so glad to be back, and look forward to finding SOMETHING ELSE to talk about, besides me. LOL

Well, actually, it was YESTERDAY, but I was so tired when I got back that I didn't come online. My friend and I went into the city (NYC) and visited all the store windows ranging from Macy's Herald Square, to Lord and Taylor's and Sak's, and more! We also saw the tree in Rockefeller Center, had lunch and saw the off-Broadway play, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!". I wish I could give it a good review, but compared with such plays as Phantom and Aida and The Fantasticks, this one came up very short. But it was a lovely, chilly day in the city and just wonderful to be ALIVE!

Woke up this a.m (which in itself is something to smile about - lol) there is ah, about 3 feet of snow - (and still snowing) and we still have electricity. Thank you Jesus! Don't mind being snowed in - but electricity is a real bonus, don't you know!

I'm smiling because my daughter is coming later tonight along with her husband and my adorable Bailey.
I'm smiling with you Dotsie as you celebrate such a momentous day...chipmunk cheeks and all!

I'm a little late but what made me smile YESTERDAY was when I received a lovely Christmas Card from RickandJune! Nothing made me smile today but what made me CRY today was when I thought about how ridiculous I was being about not having my financial situation resolved. Realizing there are so many more things to be concerned about---like my daughter's health and wellness. That continues to be an issue and all the money in the world would mean absolutely NOTHING---if something happened to her. Peace & Blessings, Beverly Mahone Author, Whatever!
