Thank you all for your wonderful Thanksgiving wishes!!
Thanksgiving was quite laid back this year. The kids went to their Dad’s house and so it was just Jason, Mom and I. I made a ham this year…considering my mom made a turkey just days before Thanksgiving and I wasn’t in the mood for THAT much turkey…if you know what I mean. 
The ham was lovely though and I was quite proud of my dinner.
I hope that you all had a joyous Thanksgiving as well. This time of year can be difficult for many I know…it’s still somewhat difficult for me. However, I’m grateful for all that I do have in my life…especially Jason and my children. Without them, I wouldn’t be here.
Thanksgiving Day was the 3rd anniversary of Peter‘s death…something that lingered in the back of my mind all day long. Jason and I talked about it briefly…but the thoughts remained there throughout the day. Maybe it’s because I miss him so much…or maybe it’s because in the short time that I had him in my life he made such an impact…or maybe it’s because I knew that if he were still alive that he would’ve been here helping me prepare that dinner. Whatever the reason…he was here…in memory…and in spirit. I’m thankful that I had what little time God allowed me to with him while he was here…my heart will never let me forget.
This last week was hectic for me…not just with all of the work that I was attempting to complete before the holiday break…but also because my computer at work decided to almost give up on me entirely. I had two viruses and numerous spyware problems with my system. It took the tech and I a full day to straighten it out…and when we were done, I was told that I was not allowed to visit Xanga from my work computer until after my tech researched the site.
He seems to think that some spyware programs may be linked to Xanga somehow. 
That’s news to me…but until it’s proven otherwise, I’m afraid that my time here is going to be even more limited. I’ll only be able to post and visit from home now…and well, you all know how hectic things are around my house…so I’m afraid that will leave me with little to no time to visit you all. I’m sorry my Xanga friends.
I will however do my best to at least visit on the weekends as often as I can. I miss you all as it is…it will be hard for me to not keep up with you on a daily basis.
Anyway…speaking of that…I’m going to try to do some visiting now while I can.

A low-key, laid-back Thanksgiving can be quite pleasant and gives you a chance to reflect on things, but I realize how difficult that must be in your case. I am so sorry for your loss, and the anniversary date being what it is. I was unaware, but you have my deepest condolences. As you say, he is still with you in spirit.
I’ve been having very similar problems with my computer at work as well, and it too has prevented me from visiting a lot of people. Stupid Spyware.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. *Hugs*
I cannot visit from work at all …so I am really not able to get aroud much…glad you had such a lovely thanksgiving…Jason seems to have made your life much more happy and gratifing. Love to all of you!
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving ! ! ! I do not want to see another turkey for a long while. I had my thanksgiving last friday. Had a turkey sandwhich a couple days ago, and lets just say I don’t know if the turkey was bad or what. . . but I ended up throwing away all the rest of my turkey I was soooo sick ! ! ! It also could have been from the shots I had in my neck wednesday. But at this point all I know is no more turkey. It is hard when thoughts of loved ones lost come in to mind and stay with you all day. It is a bittersweet feeling you are left with. I do understand. Have a great day and a wonderful rest of your weekend ! ! ! Visit when you can, we both know I have been out of the loop! Much love and many hugs ! ! ! ! Sleep with the angels and wake up fully rested and ready for a new day ! ! ! !
Ahh I’m sorry about this Peter guy, but atlaest you do have the people in your life that you do. Happy Thanksgiving!

Such a mixture of emotions for you this time of year holds. Take care *HUGZ*
I was happy to spend a “quiet” Thanksgiving with you my love. I am so sorry about Peter. I have heard so many wonderful stories from you that I know he was truly an amazing individual. I’m sure he’s still watching over you.
Love you!
