Hello my wonderful readers,
I’ve been away for a minute, enjoying the Holidays, but never stopped thinking about my readers. Some of you have been kind enough to say you missed me and could not wait for me to resume my story. So here we go.
First I want to say I hope all of you had a Magical Holiday. For me, as long as there is some family and a little one around, I’m going to have a Great Holiday. My children, grandson and most of my nieces and nephews are older, but we were blessed with a friend of my brothers, that brought his family to spend Thanksgiving and Xmas with us. His daughter is 5 years old, and she was literally the center of attention. She was beautiful, excellent temperament, very, very smart, very well manned and not “AT ALL” shy. We were thoroughly engaged with her, she interacted with all of us, and she made us all laugh. What a doll.
The type of little young lady you could bring home with you and she would be Great company. Blessings come in strange packages, and she was truly a blessing. So angry that I forgot to take her picture, there was so much commotion in the house, I just never got a chance.
Decorating the family home for the holiday is another joy for both me and my mother. I love decorating, here’s one of the rooms. We actually do the entire house, lots of work, but lots of fun too.
Also went to see a performance of the Nutcracker with Nes, another fun day.
So yes, I enjoyed my holiday, but I seem to enjoy “EVERYTHING” a bit more than I did before my TAZ journey. I look around at my family and I consciously take note of how many of us are still here and how many are missing from the picture. I count my blessings for how many are still here. We should all think about that everyday.
My Journey has been teaching me to be more patient with everyone, and to be kind instead of always right. I’m still working on those lessons, but at least I’m aware, and I’m getting better. No more indulging in the Holiday drama like the past, just be as pleasant as possible and enjoy.
Second I’d like to wish everyone a very special Happy New Year. With all of the distractions out there, I pray that you can work things out the best you can. Life is a two sided coin, sometimes heads, sometimes tails. Here’s hoping your New Year is all heads
Well anyway here I am, ready to pick up with the story of my journey. When I sit down to write, some things seem so long ago, and yet sometimes they seem like yesterday. Then of course I have unexpected flashbacks all the time.
Even when you think it’s all behind you, everyday some small thing pops up in the forefront of your mind. The thing about Mr. Taz, win or lose, you “NEVER” forget him. You never completely feel you’re out of the woods.
For example I think about the things I use to LOVE to eat. I can’t look at them same way anymore. For instance sausage, I LOVED sausage, but now I can bearly eat it! I’m always wondering what affect it is having on my body. And not just sausage, I look at everything that way now. Some things I’ve given up and some things I still cheat a little bit with.
I’ve told you about the book my daughter ordered for me when I first found out about Mr. Taz. That book is one of the reasons I’m so conscious about what I put into my body. Here’s the title of the book.
Well I thought it might be a good idea to post an excerpt from the book on the Blog under the Eye of the Day tab. The excerpt is a list of recommended foods based on scientific studies.
It’s been very helpful for me, however everyone should check with their doctor before trying anything they are not accustomed to. These foods are mostly herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables, so unless you have an allergy of some sort, I believe they are very safe.

for the list.
Other than that, The Daisy List Blog wants to welcome you to 2017 and invite you to continue the Journey with us.

Having someone to Love is family,
Having both is a blessing.”
