What do you want for your holiday gift?

     What I want you can’t wrap in gift paper and put a ribbon on it.

     I’d love to have my husband the strong and healthy man he once was.

     I’d love to have more energy, time, and patience.

     I’d like a clean house.  Not to have to battle the fierce killer dust bunnies that crawl out from under the furniture from time to time.  Not to find love notes written in the dust on the coffee table.  I’d like the interior of the house painted, the fence damaged by some cruel hand fixed.

     I’d enjoy easily cleaned floors that were not ancient cracked wood, vinyl tiles, and worn thin area rugs.  Furniture that I didn’t have to cover with throws to make it presentable.

     I want a muse to whack me over the head and keep me writing each day. 

     I’d like to have my car last for at least ten more years.

     I’d like to be able to pay each bill as it comes in and not have to decide whom we pay this month and who has to wait.

     I’d like to thank everyone who drops by to read my simple blog.

Happy Holidays!

  1. I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

    Another thing I’d like would be to have this nasty cold Dear Hubby gifted me with to go away.
    Thanks for the thyme tea tip, Elena.
    Thank you for reading my blog, Susan.

  4. I HAVE A husband with Alzheimer’s. i would wish for better, happier times, but you can’t go back. Enjoy today! That’s all you have. I am disabled, too. Drats! Merry Christmas! alicehahn

  5. The one thing I wish for is one more Christmas with my mom and dad.
    They’re gone from us physically but they live on in our memories and our hearts.
    Other than that, I want or need little. My family is healthy and we’ll be together for the holidays. I have friends, a satisfying (if sometimes aggravating) job, hobbies that elevate my spirits, challenges to conquer, and God above all.
    However…if someone were to park a new BMW 325i in my driveway this Christmas, I would appreciate it.

    Alice, we can’t go back but we sure can remember all the good things.

    I know what you mean, Dave. I miss my Mom, Dad, and younger sister too.
