Merry Christmas, my blogger friends and readers!
With only two weeks left until the new year, 2021 has definitely been a rollercoaster ride for many due to the almost 2 years old pandemic. So, my thoughts and prayers go out to those who were hardest hit. My prayers also go out for those who were horribly affected by the recent tornadoes- know that we’re all thinking of and praying for you!
As 2021 draws to a close, some changes are planned for the blog in 2022.
1. Around Jan. 20, the plan is to go self-hosted. I’m excited, yes, but I’d be a liar if I said I wasnβt a little frightened at the same time.
2. Another plan is to significantly reduce the frequency of posts to focus more on health, completing unfinished novels, and redecorating.
3. On a personal note, I also plan to finally get that dreaded eye-exam I’ve been putting off. Here in the last few weeks, the words and letters have been running together causing trouble with reading and writing. So, it’s definitely time to bite the bullet.
Cataracts and Macular Degeneration run wild in my family, so pray that I have neither.
These aren’t New Year’s resolutions but only plans. Resolutions tend to fall flat after the first month. π
You never know what the future will bring. Personally, I have a sense of renewed hope for the new year and truly believe that we will see the end of the pandemic in 2022! It’s not a prediction, it’s only a feeling I have.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperousΒ New Year! ππ₯³
So, what are your plans for 2022? What hopes and dreams do you have? Feel free to comment below.
wishing you well-being and great success with your plans for 2022.
Thank you so much, Janet! πππΉ Wishing you all the same, girlie! π€
My prayers are with you! May the Lord be with you through all your plans! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much. ππ Wishing you a very Merry Christmas as well. My God bless you in the new year and thereafter! ππ
I’m also due an eye exam. I hate those, especially when they dilate your eyes and you have to go outside so soon afterwards.
Ouch! I’m with you there! π― I also hate it when they have to blow that puff of air in you eyes! That really gives me the heebie-jeebies. π¨
Dear Cherie, thankΒ΄s for share.
Happy Holidays for you and your family and the best for the next year, brings to your life all blessings and wishes you want!
Be happy and take care.

Thank you so much, Elvira! π wishing you all the blessings as well, dear! ππ
You are welcome dear Cherie. Thank’s and blessings as well.
I hope all your plans work out Cherie as you deserve it. Just remember, no matter how often or not you post, you will still have many readers here to read them when you do. As for me, I plan to stop making excuses and procrastinations and get my third novel done.
Thank you so much, Michael. Wishing you much success on your new book! ππ€π
Thank you Cherie π

Have a great Christmas and New Year. I have had the cataract op. – for one eye. Take care of yourself – sending up some vapour on your behalf. (Just got new glasses too – great to see better π)
Thank you so much! π Sending you lots of well wishes in the new year and beyond! ππ
Congrats on the self-hosting and wishing you the best with your eyes! As for me, my plan is to keep on writing. Happy Holidays!

Best of luck with going self-hosted! I hope the transition goes well. Have a great rest of your holidays! π
Thank you so much, Matt! This means a lot. ππ€ Wishing you a happy holidays as well. π
I like your plans, Cherie. Mine are to be massively successful with everything I do and to embark on at least two new projects. I don’t know what’s they will be yet, but I’m enormously excited about them already. π
Thank you so much, Robert! And I wish you massive success in whatever endeavors you choose! ππ€
You do this a lot don’t you, Cherie White. All these people visiting you and saying nice things. It’s like being at a dinner party with a hundred Miss Sunshines. π
A hundred miss sunshines! LOLOL Thank you, Robert! This not only gives me joy but hits my funny bone! π
Thank you, Cherie and a very merry Christmas to you too. ππππΌ
You’re most welcome. πππΉ
And wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas as well. πππ«
Happy holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I am thinking my blog will pretty much remain status quo, though we have been battling the worst bullying anyone could imagine …… “Parental Alienation”, not by our child, but by our ex-DIL, in alienating our grandchildren from us AND their father. Very sad situation. Your word have helped me a lot this past year, THANK YOU! <3
Thank you for your kindness and encouragement! You don’t know how much this means. π My heart hurts for you. π I’m so sorry your Ex daughter-in-law is alienating your precious grandchildren from you and your child. That really IS the worst kind of bullying and it’s also a form of child abuse! It not only hurts you but those precious children. Lord, you don’t know how I hurt for you. But I believe the truth will eventually come out and will backfire on the bullying parent. Know that youβre in my thoughts and prayers. β€ π
Wishing you too a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year! ππ«π
Thank you for sharing, Cherie. (I love the ring to that)! Anyway, for 2022, I hope to be better organized. Iβve been saying this since 1980, though.
You’re welcome, Monika. And it’s okay. I have certainly put a few things off myself. π Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy new year.π ππ«
I’m ready for this pandemic to end. I want to see people’s faces again…
My plans for the blog in 2022 are to keep doing what I’m doing and write about Character-Greg’s 1997. Lots of big things will happen in 1997.
My plans for life in 2022… I’m really not sure. Everything is so unpredictable these days…
1997 was a great year! I remember it well! π
I wish you much success in your blogging, Greg! And I can’t wait to read about your adventures in 1997. π
Thank you π I’m working on this week’s post right now. Not sure at this point if I’ll post it late tonight, or in the morning, or forget about being on time and post it Monday or Tuesday or so.
Looking forward to reading it, Greg. ππ€
Thank you! You’ll get to read some of my actual poetry from back then in this episode.
Merry Christmas and best for 2022
Thank you so much. ππ Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and yours as well. ππ«

Cherie my dear, I love your determination and dedication to your cause. Stay on course as you spread your wings girlfriend. π¦ I think we all are praying for a hopeful year ahead. As you noted while paying respect to those affected by COVID-19 and the devastating tornadoes, as well as, those wildfires, we continue to pray for their strength and recovery. To watch the devastation on the news is so heartbreaking and extremely emotional. πππ
Plan your work, and work your plan ladybug. Keep your head up and go for it! Hugs and smooches!!! π€ππ₯°
Thank you so much, sweetie! πππΉ My brother, who is a whiz in technology, will help me to migrate everything over to my self-hosted site so I won’t lose any of my awesome blogger friends, readers, and followers. You guys mean a lot to me. I chose to go self-hosted so that I can have more control over the blog and a wider plug-in amd theme variety. There are just too many opportunities to name. Know that I love you!
Hugs and smooches back, girlie! π€ππ€ππ€ππ€π
Love you more Cherie. I’m rooting for your grand success my girl. You got to take that leap of faith my dear! Great things are headed your way. Thanks for letting us tag along! Hugs and smooches!!! ..π₯°π¦π€π₯πππ

I am, and I remember we talked about that. I wish I could give you feedback but I honestly am not sure if it truly matters or not? π€·ββοΈ

I hope your eye exam goes well — I think you’re smart to get one, if you’ve been having trouble with reading. And I wish you well for your plans! I’m in a similar situation. I’m going to slow down my blog posts and focus on a novel. I finished the first draft last year, and I’ve been slowly working on the second draft. Next year, I’ll spend more time on it.
Thank you so much, Dave. I like going to the Eye Dr. about as much as I like going to the dentist. π But it’s like taking bad tasting medicine- it’s got to be done. π
I wish you massive success on your novel- and in many more novels you haven’t written yet. ππ₯πΎ
Working on my Goals/Plan for 2022 now. Wishing you a prosperous new year with the plans you have laid out for your blog and yourself! Merry Christmas! Leigh

Very best wishes for the new year to you too Cherieβ¨ Lets hope the new year brings us some cheer, that’s all I ask.π«π€
I agree. Thank you so much, Cheryl. Wishing you and yours a very happy and prosperous New Year. π
I wish you all the success in the implementation of your plans. May the year 2022 shower upon you the choicest blessings. My plan is to learn a lot from everyone including great friends and fellow bloggers like you. I am a voracious reader and a writer, having published two ebooks and having completed the third one. So I am planning to read and write more. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much. π And a happy new year to you as well. Congratulations on the publication of your ebooks! That’s such a huge accomplishment! ππBest wishes with the publishing of your third!
Thank you so much.
Happy New Year dear Cherie. May this be a time of healing for your eyes and for the world
Thank you so much, Anand. Wishing you much happiness and prosperity in the new year. π
