Christmas Wishes

David, my brother, asked me to pass on his thanks for everyone's support with his efforts to raise money for prostate cancer. My 'Making a Difference' post has the details about his efforts. He still has a long way to go, so if you could share this link, https://incatrekforcancer.everydayhero.com/au/davidc, or consider donating a small amount, that would be awesome. Again, thank you so very much.

Also the health concerns I had a couple of months ago are now officially over after I was given the all clear. Yay! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. The IWSG Team has also passed on their Christmas wishes over at our website.

I will return for the first IWSG posting in the New Year, Wednesday 7th January.

What will you be doing over Christmas? (pop on over to the IWSG site to find out what I'll be doing)

Lynda - I missed your brother's post. I will check it out. My dad was diagnosed last Christmas and recently found out the cancer is on the move. It's still contained within the prostate, though, so he's considering his options. I think he's leaning toward having the surgery, just scared about the possible bodily repercussions. YAY! for your personal health concerns being over. So thankful for you. Have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Looking forward to reconnecting in the new year!

Great news on the health front! So glad. Have a wonderful Christmas. See you in 2015. I'm thinking of a lot of time lazing and reading. Sounds good to me.

Merry Christmas Lynda.

Any time, Alex. And yes, prayer is mighty powerful :) Have an awesome Christmas.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Dezzy. It's a huge relief.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Michael. Thankfully, Dave doesn't have cancer. He's just raising money for cancer research and he seems to be doing a really good job. I appreciate your prayers, and I'm sure he does too.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. It's great the cancer is contained, though. My prayers are with him.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

yep, a wonderful way to spend the time (I have a huge grin just thinking about it).

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thank you everyone for the Christmas wishes and the support. You are all so awesome!!

Rachna Chhabria said...

Wonderful news, Lynda! I'm so glad you are well. Merry Christmas to you, too. I hope the new year brings much success and happiness to you.

Chris Edgar said...

I'm glad to hear the news about your health, and best of luck to your brother in his quest. As for what I'm doing over the holidays, I've been having a relatively subdued holiday in New York (across the North American continent from my permanent residence in Northern California) and I definitely needed the rest.

Joylene Nowell Butler said...

It's a good thing I came back to check, because sure enough, my post didn't save. That's been happening to me a lot lately. I can only surmise it's because I'm using my tired old laptop. Left my iMac at home in Canada. Can't remember what I wrote. Probably something about how proud you must be of your brother. Very happy you're doing well, Lynda. Happy New Year.

Nick Wilford said...

Well done to your brother for his efforts and congrats on getting the all clear! Hope things get even better in 2015.

Unknown said...

What a lovely pic, and that's good news about your brother's efforts. I'm wishing you and your family a wonderful 2015!

Julie Flanders said...

We're having a quiet, restful break, enjoying having the family together. :) Best wishes for 2015!

Happy New Year's Eve. Wishing you all the best.

Blue Grumpster said...

Two for the price of one: Merry Belated X-mas and I wish you a Happy New Year, Lynda! May your wishes come true :))

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks so much, Julie, for sharing the link. I really appreciate it.
Happy New Year!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

subdued holidays are a win in my books. Enjoy that relaxation!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

It must be so frustrating for you, Joylene. I think I would go crazy if I had to deal with unreliable technology. Hugs!!

Blue Grumpster said...

Hi Lynda! Just stopping by to wish you a Happy New Year. I may may have already stopped by but I don't remember on account of the um... milk I drank. ;)

Unknown said...

Hope you had a spectacular holiday, Lyn, and best wishes for a most productive year. :)

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Merry Christmas to you too,.. and you did stop by but I've been in holiday mode and hadn't checked my moderated comments. Oopsies... I'll also blame the milk. ;)

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

It's been WONDERFUL! Very relaxing and fun and full of everything I enjoy. Best wishes to you too, Mike, for this New Year.

Nas said...

Glad the health scare is over, Lynda. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year!

Blue Grumpster said...

Don't worry about it. Not one bit :) I hope you had a wonderful time.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Yes indeedy!!!!!!!! More please!! ;)
