/hugs Leigh. Ow! Watch where you stick that whip!
I too feel very blessed at this time of year. Well, all times really. My mum's looking rather frail at this point and I'm blessed to have her with me (even if sometimes she drives me nuts and I REALLY have to remember what a blessing it is....)
I love where I work and the people I work with. And I have a whole lot of loving friends. Now I just gotta come out to the extended family. They're all in the UK, so I haven't yet. I didn't want to worry them with them so far away, so I wanted to be a way along in transition first.
Oh, and I have a needy demanding cat. What more could you want!
Love to all,
Dennis
