๐ŸŽ„Happy Christmas! Iโ€™m Ho Ho Home!๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ„

๐ŸŽ„Yule be home for Christmas, my deer! ๐ŸฆŒ

Ahhโ€ฆIโ€™ve finally found my Christmas spirit. It was on the shelf of the liquor store the whole time!๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿท๐Ÿท๐Ÿท

On a serious note, Iโ€™m thankful for Godโ€™s grace and mercy after my recent health scare and hubbyโ€™s harrowing misadventure at sea. For once, it ainโ€™t my fault he drifted away for more than 30 hour. And Iโ€™m glad he made it home in time for Christmas cos otherwise his furry son will miss him terribly. Thank good he doesnโ€™t read my blog. ๐Ÿ˜…

I guess weโ€™ve both been spared in different ways. Perhaps, God has had enough of watching us trying to โ€˜killโ€™ each other๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜…. And we could both at least be civil from now onโ€ฆfor the girls and dogโ€™s sake! I got this and I will try to be gracious until the next new season! Iโ€™m a rebel without a Claus! May my sins be forgiven! Lol!๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ˜‚

And hereโ€™s my sincerest prayer for you this Christmasโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’ซMay God give you a rainbow for every storm, a sweet song for every sigh, an answer for every prayer and a blessing for every trial.

May God touch your life and bless your heart with love, joy, peace, laughter and vibrant health today, tomorrow and always!๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’ซ

๐ŸŽ„โ˜ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿท๐ŸŽโค๏ธSending extra love, warm hugs and cozy vibes to all! Have a wonderful Christmas, everyone!โค๏ธโ˜ƒ๏ธ๐Ÿท๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ„

๐ŸŽPressies for those 18 and below only!๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and awful it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary.

That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”

Darn it! I need a selfie stick.

Merry Christmas Yโ€™all

HOo HOo HOoโ€ฆOwl be home for Christmas!
Pucker up! I know all you want for Kiss-mas is me!
Iโ€™m the only Star in this house!
And this Christmas, let us be remindedโ€ฆ
that life is short and we have to pretend to love our enemies.
โ€ฆsometimes we become the very thing we swore to destroy.
โ€ฆjoy is not what we get after Christmas. Itโ€™s fat!
I would love for everyone reading this to feel happy, healthy, blessed & loved.
And although it’s been said, many times, way too many ways…
๐ŸŒฒMeowy Christmas to you and yours! Have a mewtiful Christmas!๐ŸŒฒโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐ŸŒฒ

A lovely Sky Vine for my beloved aunt!

๐Ÿ•ŠHello Aunt Ying,
yesterday I saw
this lovely purple flower
peeping through the door
as I was walking out
from my work place.
And today this flower
came to my mind again.
I believe youโ€™re up there
in heaven looking down
at this same flower.
I think itโ€™s a Sky Vine.
Iโ€™m reminded of all
the conversations we had
and thought about
the things that
were left unsaid.
In remembrance
of you today,
I chooseโ€ฆ
calm over chaos,
joy over drama,
peace over conflict,
respect over disregard,
love over hate and
clarity over confusion.
Six years on,
I still think about you often
and miss you dearly still.
Much love, Pat ๐Ÿ’•
