Holiday season

Well so far the holiday season has not turned out as I expected.  I am having a little bit of a slump.  Today is my birthday, doesn't really feel like it.  Although my son made me quite a tasty breakfast with some yummy hot chocolate to boot.  I am lucky to have such wonderful family, my children are turning out to be good hearted people as well.
I am walking better except when I start to get tired, but overall so much better than the beginning of December.  I can walk for short distances without my cane, Yipee!!!  Still having some balance issues.  Having less vertigo, comes in waves;  it's kind of weird.  Sometimes when I lay down, the world starts to move around me.  It's one of the oddest sensations that I have ever experienced.
I know at times I repeat myself, it's just that, honestly, I can't remember what I have said before. Short term memory problems at times. Although some how I have no trouble remembering the traumatic or the dramatic stuff that goes on in my life.
I hope that everyone has had or is having a wonderful holiday season.  My gift to myself was skipping one dose of my shot.  Felt like it was the greatest present to myself not to have to endure that shot for one night.


"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys."  ~Charles Dickens
