'Holiday Tree' Thanks ;(*..*);

17 years ago

Today I had the most fun opening packages and finding the most creative decorations for my tree. I emailed Mickie thanks for spearheading this and how much it means to me. The decorations are so varied I decided that I will have an all year Holiday Tree! To remnd myself to be up not down, keep on a happy face, enjoy all that is around me. And especially to remind me that there are so many thoughtful people who would take the time to make someone happy!!

I am anxious to start working on my junk, but doctor tells me do not lift, so I want to get well so I will obey his orders.

God Bless One and All

Sylvia

    Sylvia,

    I am so glad that you recieved your gift today. We all wanted you to know that you are in our hearts and on our minds. I am so glad that you enjoyed opening each one. I agree that each one was very different. I was inspired by them all while taking pictures of them. I will get them all posted hopefully yet tonight so that everyone else can see what everyone else sent for you. My prayers are with you that your followup exam will be good.

    I am glad you are enjoying the things! I recieved some gifts when Bill was so sick and it does mean a lot to know people care.
    Prayers that you can do what you want to do soon!

    Ok I got all of the pictures onto my photobucket page. I listed them by the names or forum names of the people who sent them. Hopefully I got everyone's names spelled right. If I missed anything or mispelled anyone's names please let me know. I was going back and forth between photobucket and the file they are in on my computer SO I might have messed up somewhere...Thank you again Everyone! This means so much!

    Everything was so pretty! Thank you so much for sharing the pictures, Micki! And Sylvia, I am thrilled to my toes that you have enjoyed them! You will have one of the most outstanding trees around! I think your forever tree idea is a great one. Like more primitive people before me, I think of the evergreen as a symbol of eternal life. It shows that there are some things the dead of winter cannot destroy. I think it is a fitting reminder of the hurtles you have overcome and your faith and strength during this bleak time in your life. And all the decorations are symbolic of your own beauty!

    Welcome home, Sylvia!

    Thank you Micki for organizing this & getting the pics & sending the gifts on to Sylvia. Glad you liked the little treasures inside the box. I think your tree will be lovely ,with lots of hearts, love & prayers! Hope each day is getting better & you'll soon be able to enjoy spring! Just think, no snow out here!! I think they had some in 1949 or something for a short time!!Check in once in awhile so we know you are doing OK!! Jan

    Sylvia, its great to hear from you. I hope each day brings you a step closer to feeling good again. I am very happy you got your surprise, its been so exciting to do Micki's "project".
    And Micki....I just went thru the photos and am so blown away by all the great ornaments. They are wonderful, and so representative of our little family here!
    By the way, even tho the "purple moon" is a dead give-away for me, you might want to change the name listed with it.
    Just put Purplemoon-Karen. No one here really knows about the Sangaree part. (has to do with my show dogs, they are registered under Sangaree with AKC). I've always signed my crafts with Sangaree tho and didn't think when I signed this one. LOL

    Sylvia,
    The reason I built that little chair was because it is an important symbol in my life. For 11 yrs. I was in chronic back pain. Every excursion became a silent search for periodic resting places. On many occasions I had to sit on the floor in stores and pretend to be searching and reading things on the bottom shelf. A chair became so important in my life that it became synonomous with SUPPORT, COMFORT, RELIEF, AND RESTORATION TO CONTINUE ON. A simple chair meant that I could keep my dignity and not be on the ground in public places. I wish for you Dear Sylvia, a simple chair and all it stands for. Susie

    Susie,

    I was hoping that you would share your story and reason for why you made a chair. You had told me the story and it means so much. I'm glad you shared it here with Sylvia. It shows how much love you put into your gift for Sylvia. Thank you for sharing it.
