I have decided to give myself the ultimate gift this month.
The luxury of time.
Time for myself to do whatever i want...or nothing at all.
I miss my dad so much.
I am going to stay quiet this month and feel his spirit in this beautiful Arizona desert.
I know he is out there....
I can feel his love wrap around me when I am quiet and when I walk out to my fav spot.
I feel that is what I have left ...my dad's love.
It is enough.
Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year!

Enjoy your quiet time.
ENJOY!! and same back to ya.
I hope you find the peace you need...love and hugs.
I too feel that way...this is always a tough time of year for me...my son died a few days before Christmas...12 years ago. I hope you can rejoice in your father's love and not feel the pain day after day.
Good for you! It is good to have the silence and space to feel those we love. What better place than the desert.
Enjoy your quiet, Dad time. He'll be there for you and we'll be here when you get back. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Your post said it perfectly...there is nothing I can add to it except to send my love and a hug.
Peace.
Relax, rest up and enjoy your quiet time.
Take care xx
My dad passed away eleven years ago and I still feel his presence. Especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. The love never goes away.
Merry Christmas. :-))
Beautiful gift to yourself. I hope that you will feel comfort and your dad's love and have sweet memories fill your soul.
Hugs my friend.
Your post brings tears to my eyes... I miss my Dad so much too. Take the time to spend in your fav spot... be good to yourself and be with his spirit. Happy New Year to you too.
Enjoy your time for your self. Our love ones never truly leave us. They are also in our hearts and watching over us from above.
How beautiful. Enjoy. Merry Christmas. Hugs.
There's only so much of it; you're wise to enjoy what you can of it.
It's good to be with yourself sometimes. I hope you find peace in your quietness.
The AZ desert is the best place I've ever found to find the peace and solace that I need. We love you and want you to find comfort.
Much love and peace being sent your way...

Enjoy and absorb your quiet time. Happy Holidays.
You are such a good and decent person, which I think is the best we can say of each other, enjoy your time in this beautiful place. Thanks for all your kind words. I hope in the New Year we can try to meet up in Wickenburg and have some of Anita's salsa. Blessed holidays.
Amen, God bless. Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you all. ♥
Enjoy your time!
Enjoy your quiet time in your special place, I will be thinking of you. I know that this will be a difficult time for you and your family but I pray that you will find some peace and joy. See you in the new year! xxoo
I am so glad that you feel your dad's presence. That must be a comfort.
Enjoy your break and your time luxury.
Have a wonderful holiday and a great new year!
There is nothing quite like the desert in the winter..and feeling your Dad's love and spirit there..sometimes we nees to just be still..be still and listen..
Blessing to you my sweet friend. And if you hear a hardy Irish cowboy laugh out in the Arizona desert, say hello to my brother...
do what you need to do and enjoy the time!!
As someone above said the desert in the winter is the best of times. I love going out in my motor home and just let it all wrap around me.
It is a tough time for you right now and you need this time to heal and feel and know that your dad is at piece. Feel him in the cool breeze, smell him in air and plants. Howl in the wind if you must and cry out your pain.
I did it and I felt better for it. Gather your strenght back.
I will hold you dear to me this month.
Warm Hugs
In the stillness of a moment he is with you wherever you go, whatever you do. Give yourself all the time you need. Take care. Happy Holidays.
What a lovely view! I still think of my mom especially during the holidays. Her bday was jan 1st. I make back eyed peas & cornbread, not because it's new years tradition, but because she always made then "on her bday" :-) Enjoy your quiet time my friend.
sweet loving words.. it's always good to calm your soul and feel the goodness out about us.. prayers to your heart..
Hugs
Merry Christmas to you!
Beautiful picture and words. Enjoy your time and the comfort of your beautiful desert.
Take all the time you need and do nothing that is "expected."
Peace and blessings, K
Hugs and prayers for you. Your desert is beautiful. Enjoy your time.
Glad you stopped by and left a comment for me on sixtyfivewhatnow. I lost my son in July, and I understand too well what your loss feels like. At times, our of the blue, you will find him there by you in the little things and the small gestures. You will always miss him;yet, in time, we'll end up peacefully accepting that this is the way of all things.
What a lovely gift. The gift of time. What is more precious? Isn't it wonderful to have a place you can go to where you feel him around you?
xo, Cheryl
What a lovely gift to give yourself.
And I know you must miss your dad so much - the first of everything is so hard.
I wish you some time to think back and reflect on how much he loved you.
Such a wonderful gift.

Peace and comfort.
Wise move! Merry Christmas to you and yours and thanks for your comments and prayers, they have helped.
You need the peace to heal. Take as long as you need. Your Dad will never leave you.
Wishing you a peacefl and merry Christmas and all the best in the new year
Quiet time will help you, relax and do what you need to recover.

Oh I so understand this one. Why do you think I spend so much time in my bush. I talk to my Dad and remember him, it is our place. I do hope you find the peace I have found while in your Arizona desert. I know it really helps. Take all the time you need my friend I truly understand. I wish I could give you a real hug not just a virtual one HUGS. I will await your return. Enjoy the special time with your Dad. B
Time is such a funny thing; sometimes we can measure it, and other "times" it has no bottom - it can go on and on...Taking time is the best thing we can do...sometimes ! :) Wishing you extra "time" during this time to be able to enjoy, bask, and be content, with all that you do,whether it be just contemplating or doing some physical activity...
and ~
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too, friend!
I'm sad too. Just plodding on. Mindless jobs. Don't know how it will go after the holidays - but will face that when they come.
Take good care of yourself. Sadness sucks the life out, but I hear it gets better.

Sad time of the year to lose a parent. My husband died shortly before Christmas too (10 years ago) and I remember all the joy we had in the past years. The years went by without him and I still put up his stocking on the fireplace beside mine. They don't get filled but they enjoy just hanging there together.
Wishing you love and peace and may you have joy in your heart.
I'm so glad to read you are taking your own time to heal.
Such a process.
I always wish there were books for times like this...instructions that tell you if you follow these steps in THIS order, your broken heart will feel better.
I'm sorry.
Sending hugs, healing and peace your way.
