I have borrowed this link from a friend.... please watch and listen to this beautiful piece Assisi Nativity....

had more bad news this morning, my aunt Pat in Canada died yesterday... can we please just get to the end of this year now! my mom read out a letter yesterday evening that Pat had sent her, now feels like words from beyond...

still doesn't feel like Christmas to me, feel like there is a piece missing... think i will find out what time Franco is coming home today... early i hope!

Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" "Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.
Paulo Coelho

TTFN and a Very Merry Christmas to you all...
