I want to wish everyone a great kickoff to what will hopefully be a great, new, year. I know that it has been a rough 2011 for many people, I wish you hope and peace.

I don't have the words to describe what all of you mean to me. This was a tough year for me ( healthwise ) and when I was at my loneliest or just feeling a bit down, I could log on or just lurk. I knew that this was a safe, warm, landing spot where nothing was expected of me and where there was no judgement. Thank you for that !!!!! ( And thanks to all of you who PMd me just to say "hi" during my bout with cancer this year. The bout goes on. And this may sound silly to some : but because of this place, I know how to dress for it !!! LOL ! I gained 30 lbs in the last 4 months and because of all of you, I am handling it quite well : ) as I scale up . Even my oncology nurse said that I looked good a week ago - I wanted to say, "Isn't it fabulous ??? " )

XOXOXOXO
