Hope you all are doing well and having a fantastic holliday full of joy and blessings ๐Ÿ˜Š
I can't belive Christmas is only 2 days away ๐Ÿ™Š
time is flying by so fast.. Lol


Also a time to remind ourselves of the many blessings in our lives... And I have many... But there is ONE especially that is very much in my mind right now!

bitmoji-20181123124157.png

As many of you know I have been dealing with a lot of things on the homefront.. Like my sister being sick with a brain tumor.
She has been waiting for operation for a LOOOONG time and it has been hard to keep the hope and happy face on...
But I never lost hope.. I'm a believer and a dreamer... Hopeless one I've been called ๐Ÿ˜œ

And now we got some news after all this time and medication for her.... ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

The tumor is Gone.. HAVE dissappeared and no trace LEFT of it !

๐Ÿ˜ฒWhaaaaat? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ WOHOOO!

Happy Dance! ๐Ÿค—

MomentCam_20181028183315.gif

She still needs operation to release the pressure in her head, but finally she isn't afraid to think of the future.. Se her 5 boys grow up ๐Ÿ˜
She Sooo deserves this miracle!!

So it was like unreal and it was like a heavy burden just lifted from my shoulders!
I can breathe..๐Ÿ˜ŠSmile...Breathe..๐Ÿ˜ŠSmile
Ya I liderly can't stop smiling! ๐Ÿ˜†

A True Christmas Miracle ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

Made me think of a song that is a favorite of mine.. For two reasons really!


One - Because this guy Suprised me with his amazing change in his voice and I wasn't expecting it... Love that!
Second - Because of the beautiful message in it... About miracles โค๏ธ
He is from Croatia and was in Eurovision song contest and his name is Jacques Houdek

My favorite frase is what he says in the beginning....
There's only two ways to live your life :

One - As if tho Nothing is a miracle
The other - As if tho EVERYTHING is a miracle

That stayed with me ever since I first heard it!

๐ŸŽ‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŽ‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŽ‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ‹

Another thing I'm grateful for is my amazing coworkers that really is a big reason for me still being there ๐Ÿ˜ and this year I have received a lot of love from some and I wanted to share some of the amazing gifts I got!

IMG_20181216_043814.jpg
This was from my secret Santa that I've shared before and I now know who it was.. Lol
She's amazing!

But here is what I got on my last day of work before my Christmas vacay started!

IMG_20181223_013128.jpg
Great gifts and the second picture is my coworker who baked and I'm ashamed to say ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ™ŠI already eating all of em ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I got two Beautiful Amaryllis flowers.. One is white, and the other one is red..
The red one has already bloomed and look how beautiful it is ๐Ÿ˜

IMG_20181221_144346.jpg

Now to my Favorite gifts as they are from the heart โค๏ธand cause they SOO know me well ๐Ÿค—

IMG_20181221_144057.jpg

I've loved snow globes since I was a kid and I don't know why but they are just.. Magical ๐Ÿ’ซ
And aren't they just AMAZING? ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘Œ

The other gift are just as amazing... It's ornaments with motives from books of my favorite childhood writer Elsa Beskow
How cool is that?
I absolutely Looove it ๐Ÿ˜ Thankful heart!


And then I actually bought some myself and I'm just in Looove with the Silver Deer with candles!

IMG_20181221_144206.jpg

Now standing in my window and looks beautiful ๐Ÿ˜

20181221_183130.jpg

So much beauty in the world and much to be thankful for... Not for the things we own.. But the blessings we have and feel...
What's in your โค๏ธ that's priceless and no money in the world, can ever buy that!

20181219_194803.jpg

Ohh.. Yes food is also a blessings ๐Ÿ˜‹โค๏ธ and today my mouth really agreed on that... So yummy I ate way to much and now pay the price... Aggghhh
MomentCam_20180608213023.gif
... Lol.. So worth it ๐Ÿ˜œ

Bobby also got a new gift... A Christmas suit that he already has wore 2 days... Lol
The words on it cracked me up.... Dear Santa I can explain ๐Ÿ˜…

20181221_144249.jpg

Ya Please explain why you always put all your toys in the bowl when it makes it hard to reach the food! ๐Ÿ˜‚ hahahahaha


And my last buy was a thing I had when I was younger but lost, and now I found some that I really liked ๐Ÿ˜‰ some cool knifes!

IMG_20181016_164842.jpg

Funny thing is that I was in a fishing shop to buy some new hooks and stuff... Lol

IMG_20181223_021607.jpg

You ever do like me? Go in to buy one thing and end up buying something else? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚Hahaha
I'm AWSOME at that!

Made this in a new app and I love the snow in it โ„๏ธโค๏ธ... Thank you @c0ff33a for the tip ๐Ÿค—

And the day it all started when me and my family passed around my brothers aussie hat and took pictures ๐Ÿ˜‰

IMG_20180106_175931.jpg

This is my favorite as we all smile and had many laughs ๐Ÿ˜Š but also cause my grandfather is no longer with us but everytime I se this picture I remember it like yesterday โค๏ธ

Memories is truly a great gift, and the love we feel for the people close to us no matter if they are gone or still with us.. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
Gone but Never forgotten is so true!

My #haturday for today!

And yesterday I actually by a accident came across @enginewitty's comic stories about some alliance members and I'm truly Honored and Thankful for being included in it.

I love being the snow โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ†leopard and shape shifter.. Soo cool!

2018-12-22_22-23-06-424.jpeg

Ya I know Butthugger wasn't in there... I just couldn't help myself ๐Ÿ˜‚ Bwahahahahaha

Here's the link if anyone wants to read his amazing comic story!

https://steemit.com/thealliance/@steemitcomics/the-alliance-the-snow-leopard-captain-sassafrass

I actually kinda wrote a story too ๐Ÿ˜œ only a tad different... Way different and I had fun using some friends in it... Enjoy :
https://steemit.com/comic/@saffisara/family-trip-or-is-it-really

I'm thankful for the few times I actually did things I NEVER thought I ever do ๐Ÿ˜‰
Like when #snoookmademespellthebean in her amazing show Pants are Optional!

I usually don't talk much in voice but I don't know how she does it but I talk like a crazy person with her โค๏ธ she knows me and I feel completely comfortable with her. Love that!

Here's the interwiew if anyone wants to listen.. Just a warning...might make you laugh your pants off and then Pants are NO longer optional ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ hahaha

LOVE YOU SNOOK โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

Another thing I love is how some challanges here has made us go out of our comfort zone and write about ourselves... Challenges like this changed me some and the more you did it.. The easier it got to open up ๐Ÿ˜Š

A challenge like that was 5 facts and you had to write things that people didn't already know about you... A hard one... Lol

Here's mine:

I was thinking of ending this post like in the beginning somewhere ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚hahaha
Can't seem to stop writing... I apologize.

But now it's way past bedtime here and I need to go to sleep so this ends this post and I hope you haven't falling asleep... Lol

I wish you all a wonderful holliday and a Really Very MERRY CHRISTMAS ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽโค๏ธ

Yes I know this post is longer than I attended ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚hahaha
Happens alot to me... Just sometimes when I start writing it's like my heart and mind has life of its own and just keeps writing ๐Ÿ˜‰ one of the reasons why I never "plan" my posts...
It always ends up being another post than I planned so.. I just starts writing and at the end I know what post I just made ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚hahaha
Sounds nuts I know...

Thank you for being who you are and I know you have been hearing me a lot in my cherry days and not so cherry days.. But never asked me to SHUT UP ๐Ÿ˜œ
But you always been there for me. Love you bunch โค๏ธ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

Makes it a special Christmas and special thankful one.

I wish you a merry Christmas My friend and stay as you are ๐Ÿ˜˜
