What's with me?

Life has been fairly uneventful lately. I was not able to go to Church last Sunday due to health reasons and the Sunday before that I did get to go, but it was the first time I got to go to Church for a few months. There were various reasons that I wasn't able to get to Church for that length of time which I don't want to get into here right now.


Joram (formerly known as Muffy) has been doing well. He still lights up my life! For those of you that don't know Joram is my 6yr old Bichon Maltese(he'll be 7 in April) that I've had now for a year and a half. He's still mischievous and much more energetic than me, which keeps me more active than I might otherwise be.

I've had a lot of things on my mind. At this time of year the thought usually uppermost in my mind are Christmas gifts. I'm trying to plan out what I’m going to get for the family members and friends that I do buy gifts for. Another thing on my mind is the impending visit of a good friend. He should be arriving by the end of the week and I am very much looking forward to this visit as it has been 2 yrs since I last saw him.

A couple of months ago my Mom had another mild heart attack (and since I tend to worry about everyone that I know) I’ve been worried. She has since been attending cardiac education classes(again) which she just finished up I think it was last week and now she's got 2 months of cardiac exercise program to go through. She seems to be doing alright. She sure has been keeping herself busy. I usually have to leave a message for her these days as she has been keeping herself so busy.
Hugs,

It's so refreshing to hear of people doing something good and helping elephants.
The photos are stunning and dramatic and such a wonderful story to go along with it.
