Conversation – 21

@xango,

I am almost done and I am not putting up as much. Xango like you said what goes up must
come down and very little makes me happy these day I think good health and good family
makes the Holiday special. The things they look pretty but I go to the extreme and I am not
doing that this year. 😎😉

Hey take it easy and thank you for posting I love doing the Christmas Tree Dresses you don’t
wear them you decorate them. 🎈

My Favorite Things
Song – Julie Andrews

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver-white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
Song by Brenda Lee

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie
And we’ll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin’ merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

Last Christmas
Song by Wham!

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”, I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now, I know you’d fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special, special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special

Peace Out Peeps have a safe and warm evening.

Awesome! Lovely! Maybe Heidi should make some pins like these dresses?

@Sheba 🎄🎄🎄 ⛄️⛄️⛄️ Feliz Natal 🎄🎄🎄🎄

Hello Sheba, I always enjoy your Christmas Tree Dresses, just like the Flower Dresses in the Summer. All are so lovely, you always find just the right beautiful pictures to post.
Sheba, I tend to misread 😅 things. Those needless going in to deep does hurt, and hurt alot. Sorry that happened to you, some Technicians are better than others.
How are you doing with the Christmas decorations? Are you getting your son to help you decorate for Christmas? This year I am going to skip on the decorations, December is coming along fast. I just don’t have the energy for decorations, putting them up and taking them down.
Hopefully by the middle of the month I will have a bit more energy to do some baking.
Take care Sheba⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️🎄🎄🎄

Finding Another Vantage Point

Seeing the world from another perspective can introduce you to all sorts of hidden treasures.
The ocean can look very different, depending on whether you are standing at the shore, soaring above in a plane, or swimming beneath its waves. Likewise, a mountain can look very different relative to where you are standing. Each living thing sees the world from its unique vantage point. While from your window you may be seeing what looks like a huge shrub, a bird in its nest is getting an intimate view of that tree’s leafy interior. Meanwhile, a beetle sees only a massive and never-ending tree trunk. Yet all three of you are looking at the same tree.

Just as a shadow that is concealed from one point of view is easily seen from another, it is possible to miss a fantastic view. That is, unless you are willing to see what’s in front of you through different eyes. Seeing the world from another perspective, whether spatially or mentally, can introduce you to all sorts of hidden treasures. The root of the discovery process often lies in finding another way of looking at the world. The common human reaction to insects is one example. Spinning its web in a dark corner, a spider may seem drab, frightening, and mysterious. But seen up close weaving silver snowflakes between the branches of a tree, they can look like colored jewels.

Sometimes, there are experiences in life that from your vantage point may seem confusing, alarming, or worrisome. Or there may be events that look insignificant from where you are standing right now. Try seeing them from another point of view. Bury your face in the grass and look at the world from a bug’s vantage point. Explore your home as if you were a small child. Take a ride in a small aircraft and experience the world from a bird’s eye view. Just as kneeling down sometimes helps you see more closely when you are looking for lost treasure, so can standing back help you appreciate the broader picture of what you are looking at. In doing so, you’ll experience very different worlds. AMEN! 😉🎈

Greatest Love of All
Song by Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California I want to wish you Kitten and your family a nice Holiday Season. 🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. Oz is alright today not too bad. I just worry about the
little critters. 😉😎

I am making a meat loaf and the works for hubby and son. Poppy has not left my side
it’s like he is on mommy patrol making sure I stay put. I made sure he could see and hear
me while in I was Colorado. 💕 Poppy lost his mind when I walked in the door and my beloved
Sheba use to do the same thing. Yeah I am named after one of my pets. 😉

Enjoy the day and the season.

Blowing a heart warming hug to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I feel so much better with some things in the rear view mirror
and I don’t look back at it. 😉😎

Wishing you and your family a great day. My son is in his room working remote. 💕🎈
Taci it feels good having one of our children home. The girls met us in Colorado and it
was great we went shopping and then some. The girls all flew in to Colorado. The girls
even have cars the family leave for them to use when they visit. We do have a daughter
who graduated from the University of Colorado and we had her graduation part up in
the mountains known as Estes Park. 😎🎈

Taci that area is where Jack Nicolson made the movie the Shining we went to the hotel
it was made at. The animals walk around in the mountains and they will come to you. 💕

Wishing you Happy Trails as you can see I am doing my annual Christmas Tree Dresses. 😎
