Wed 2 Nov 2011
I am hoping to start posting regularly again and I apologise for my long absence. My health got pretty dismal for a while and I am still having some difficulties but I’m getting there. One thing I am grateful for this time is that I have had no mood swings and until Monday, which only lasted Monday I’m glad to say, I have been pretty upbeat considering.
My current positive mood has a lot to do with the time of year and Christmas being just round the corner which has to be my favourite season. Sometimes it surprises me as my family always seems to dread this time of year not only the cold and possibility of snow, which I have always loved, but also the stress and family politics involved in the Christmas season. Happily I always find organising Christmas to be a joy and look forward to it each year much to the bafflement of my mum but then as she says I have only been doing this a few years whereas she has had a lifetime of the drama 
For me Christmas is the perfect time/excuse to do all the things I love. Make lists, buy presents and craft, bake and create to my hearts content (health willing).
What is your favourite time of year?
Welcome back, Maria! It’s nice to see you again. Missing you for the past 5 months. Glad to know that you’re in good health and happy mood.
Nice to know your favorite season. My favorite season is also the festive season. I celebrate the Eid. Though there’s always so much to do, I’m always in the merry mood decorating the house and preparing delicious dishes, cakes and biscuits. Apart from that I look forward for visits from family members and friends. I visit them back. It’s so much fun.

So nice to see you back again Maria , welcome back !
I’m feeling energetic to see your new post, knowing you’re in a good mood and healthwise feeling better.
I love this time of the year – year ending and the begining of a new year, a kind of excitement. Everyone’s in a mood of vacation and festivities.
So happy to see your comment Kitty
Thank you, hoping to post again tomorrow.
I agree there is an excitement around now and an anticipation for a new year, hoping it will treat us better or just as well as the previous
It’s great to get your words, Maria!
Lately I found in summer I like winter and vice versa- crazy! Ever like to have fun in any chance I can take to make the time going upside down (for the friends)- lol
