Yup..Thanks Richard...
After my self imposed solo Pity Party, I pulled myself up by my..well never mind...

..and knew pretty dam well I have it good and life goes on and is what you make it.

Unless someone pleads with us to join them for Christmas, we decided to do some kind of volunteer work to let others have the day off.

I'm gonna be fine. I slapped myself upside the head a few times and hung my head in shame.

Okay, and NOW hug yourself and don't be ashamed. You are human and there are posts by other hoomins here who go through the same thing.

My mom and I are it. Darcia had no kids, I didn't (and now parts are missing

). This branch of the family tree will be closed for good.

But dammit, for Christmas this year, we are NOT having just "turkey breast" - I am buying a whole darn free-range turkey, and will peel all the taters for Mom to do real mashed ones (not out of a box THIS year!), with for real gravy and carrots AND punkin pie!!!

L'chaim! TO LIFE!

You have no reason to slap yourself about the head! Life has done that already. It's up to you to look up and not be afraid of what lies ahead.
You have to be strong and make it, because no one else will do it for you.

And please do me a favor?

Stay away from the "cat puke"?

And no need to be ashamed. When we hit our knees you can't go any farther down. It's time to look up, get up and move on.

LOL,
Don't it hurt to yank on those.....nevermind!

I agree w/everyone. No need to hang your head in shame. As you can see, we've all been there. Instead, hold your head high in pride that you have it so good compared to so many. I'm proud of ya!
