Boxing Day


Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! M brought this nice bottle of red wine home from work last week. It was a gift from his boss, a nice thought.   It's been really busy around here, almost overwhelming, as I like it more quiet and prefer to be on a regular routine.

As we approach the New Year, I'm reading of all these cancer breakthroughs in the news.  It seems they have cured prostate cancer in mice and are making new discoveries about how normal cells help cancer cells spread.  This is great news going forward.

    I sure hope so. One of my classmates just died of prostate cancer. Glad to know your Christmas was wonderful. Now on to the new year.

    I am partial to a drop of red wine or two! I'm with you too for a quiet time and regular routine, except when I'm travelling.

    Hope the cancer breakthroughs keep coming thick and fast, as there are so many people suffering from the dreaded disease.

    Be well my friend.
    Big hugs

    Although I enjoy having the family here for Christmas, I agree with you on the need for routine and quiet.

    That's really good news about prostate cancer. David has had two bosses who had prostate cancer. One died of it, while the other has survived.

    the holiday season is quite hectic, and routine starts to look good about this time. I guess that's why we need those big holidays, so we can appreciate the quiet moments. Enjoy the wine. I believe it too is good for one's health.

    I'm glad I found out about boxing day just a few minutes before reading this. Hope the wine is great, and happy holidays.
