Hi BND,

You have a date for the homecoming??? Inquirung minds want to know... I am so happy for you, you deserve the happy life you have been working towards with so much grace, stamina and commitment.

I think it's great that you took your kids to the movies on Christmas eve - what fun! I did something really unusual this year, and we went out to dinner on Christmas day. It is one of the few years we will have when we are all adults (before the grand kids will probably come...) so I treated to a lovely and elegant sunset view dinner for 8 and got to have a day of rest for myself as well. It is amazing how creative and resilient we can be on this journey! I am a great cook and never imagined before that I would go out to dinner on a holiday and enjoy it. Wonders never cease!

I can't wait to hear about your H's moving plans. It is the best news ever for the start of a new year.
