The end of the year is always a busy time.
I want to spend December as quietly as possible.
I'll enjoy Family and Friends.
I'll celebrate Life.
My Cardiologist is weaning me off all heart medications.
I feel the need to stay calm and quiet.
I'll watch and listen and think.

My very best to all of you in this Season of Love and Sharing and Giving.
Enjoy Life.

You are a wise woman. Enjoy, rest, stay calm and quiet. I will be thinking of you as you go through the holidays.
I hope you are well and that the move by the doctors is because your heart is getting stronger. Interestingly, I am also being taken off of my heart medication. I am wearing a monitor. I also hope to stay calm, and free from anxiety. I don't want to be on the medication I have been on because of the way it impacts other health issues.
You are in my thoughts.
Have a lovely, peaceful holiday.
Oh, so you will be having a one month hiatus! When some creatures will be hibernating with that cold, you will sympathize with them and hibernate too, LOL. But if you happen to browse in blogs, i am inviting you to visit our posts. We don't experience what you have in the temperate climes, we remain green and colorful all year round. We will supply you with garden colors and lively colors, when you are resting. Happy Winter! take care.
merry christmas barb- have a wonderful time with your family! look forward to catching up in january.
What lovely, festive photos. A very Happy Christmas to you too. You will feel so much better once you are off all heart medications. I almost died from an allergic reaction to them and am happy as Larry to be free of them They all have side-effects we no not need at all.
Have a wonderful time during this wonderful season and enjoy all the beautiful decorations and above all, the togetherness.
You will be missed but I hope you have a wonderful December. Rest and enjoy. See ya in 2012.
I will miss your posts Barb, but it sounds like a good plan to me.
Look forward to seeing you when you come back.
Good advice for all, Barb. Peace, joy, and Merry Christmas!
See you in 2012!
For your holiday and new year I wish you love with your family and friends, joy in the miracles you see about you in that beautiful world of yours, peace for whatever is at unrest, health and healing, and love always.
Sending you wishes for a beautiful Christmas and a healthy, happy, lovely new year.
Best of luck on reducing the heart meds. Have a wonderful, quiet holiday!
Happy Holidays, Barb! I love that you're listening to your heart, in more ways than one. There is a season for blogging...and a season for, well, other things. :)
I hope you have a wonderful, restful and healthful holiday season.
Happy Holidays! What a lot of wonderful reasons to be off line and living a real life. Wishing you peace and calm and a perfect December. (Or if you don't even read this until next year, I am sure it was wonderful!).
And thank you for all your support and virtual friendship. I value it!
Barb,
I'll miss you! But, I totally & completely get it. I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful, quiet, reflective season... spent w/ the family you love. Hope you have a stack of good books to read, & a space just for you by a warm, crackling fire. Watch the snow fall & sip some peppermint hot chocolate. :)
Sounds lovely.
Have a great season, Barb~ see ya in 2012!

Barb, this is the most quiet and heartwarming Christmas decoration even though everything is covered with snow. I love your way to take photos. The bench looks like an old storyteller of Christmas in your photos. Enjoy your holidays!
Best wishes,

I completely understand Barb. I hope you find peace during the Christmas season. I don't think I'll be around much either. Trying to keep the stress levels down as you are. All the best to you and your family. See you next year!! Love Di ♥
Hi Barb,
Thank you so much for stopping by. May this season find peace for us all...joyful times, and quiet times. Let us embrace our photos and memories.
Fantastic images in this post, just lovely.
All the best,
Sierra Rose and family
Enjoy your December and all the little ones in your life. I am so happy to hear that you can go off the heart meds. That is wonderful news.
Here's to a strong and vibrant heart.
I'll be waiting patiently until you return.
I just love your photos!
From my family to yours - Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
Rest well and enjoy your time with family!
Have a great holiday, we will look forward to your posts in the new year.
Barb, I like your way of making us get closer and closer to the bench decorated for Christmas. I’d like to use the second of the third image as a Christmas card. Your posts as well as your comments have pleased, stimulated, and encouraged me throughout the year, which I really appreciate. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your good health without medication.
Wish you a serene, joyful time with the warmth of family and friends together. See you new year.

Happy Holidays!!!
See you after the new year :)
Hi Barb!
Oh how wonderful to start the new year free! I am so glad you have completely recovered from that surprising event. It's been well over a year, I believe.
I know there are lots of beautiful smiles coming your way during this cheery season.
Enjoy your wonderful family, Barb!
Merry Christmas and have a JOY-filled New Year!

A very peaceful setting for a cheery bench. Enjoy the holidays in good health!
What beautiful holiday photos! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. I'm so happy for you being able to wean off of the medications. We have been so busy here that I haven't had a chance to blog. Hopefully I can put up a few photos next week.
Lovely. :)
Enjoy the quiet. It's the time of year we all crave it.
Merry Christmas!
Just looking at your pictures makes me feel peaceful and relaxed. I hope you are also peaceful and relaxed and having a happy time. The New Year is almost upon us – I wish you a joyful 2012 and hope that you will be in great spirits and good health when you come back to your blog.
