BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine American Regional Cuisine Thank you...

I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful posts that you keep placing in my forum. You are all soooo creative!!

We all have so many challenges in our lives, more so at certain times than at others, but, we all have them. Most of you know that we moved last June, filled with excitement and all of the....what's the right word for what a pain it is to move?! We were excited anyway. We painted, planted, refinished and repaired....hard work but always worth the effort for the right reasons.

My sweetie the Yang to my Yin, is wonderful and the problem he thought he had in his back, well, it ended up being a progressive form of Multiple Sclerosis. It was confirmed in August and he's been really struggling with it. So some of our plans have changed as life would have it, and we are rearranging a lot of things to have the most and best quality of life with each other, our children and grandchildren.

Sooo, this is why I haven't been here very often, why I write fewer articles and why I'll probably be leaving Bella at some point soon.

I just truly wanted to thank you all for your creativity, warmth, humor and thoughtfulness....you are all so very awesome and special, and I pray that you all, are enjoying the holidays with love in your homes, joy in your hearts and peace in your spirits.........

Sue, I have so enjoyed your forum and your posts in my forum. You are such a joy to know and you have been doing a great job here at BellaOnline.

You and your "sweetie" are in my prayers and thoughts. Keep your courage up and keep that wonderful and strong faith you have in living life as joyfully as possible.

Blessings and hugs,
Phyllis

Phyllis, I too, have enjoyed our fellowship. You are an amazing woman and thank you for your blessings, hugs, prayers and encouragement....

I am truly blessed to know you and you're a blessing to so many others as well......many blessings, much joy and huge hugs to you.

Sue, you and yours are in my prayers. I have enjoyed reading and contributing what I could to your forum since I found you. Please be assured that no matter where your turns in life take you I will lift you up in prayer, daily.

How did your walk a thon turn out?

I too have been mia recently. Since my surgery I haven't done too much on the pc but school work. I'm going back to work on Monday. If I don't I'll probably retire, it's been 3 months. A very long vacation.

Granny...thank you You have been a great contributor here and have also made me laugh a lot....thank you for both, you are really great, truly

The walk was a beautiful day but unfortunately....I was sick that weekend and couldn't attend. My cousin did a great job and our team did quite well....thank you for being a part of it and I thought about you that day. I almost went but with so many people and myself being sick, I didn't think it was a fair thing to do for the others that were walking.....healthy was the goal! I really missed it, but there is next year and I am signed up even though I don't know the date yet!

I have thought about you and you too are in my prayers. I hope work goes well and stick with your schooling girl....you are a bright inspiration to many, so stay wonderful as you are even when it's tough....you are amazing and I'd love to give you a big ole bear hug right now....be well and we'll talk again
