O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Just a reminder that I first learned this song in German. Maybe I’ll study German in the coming year? Who knows!

Quiet Desperation

Hi kim, the tree looks great. I did German at school and can now only remember a handful of phrases – wish I knew more.
Happy Christmas to you!

Thanks Lundy…I can understand some of it still, but speaking it is another story. I love the language. Of course I would love to speak a few others also..Italian, French, Spanish…So many languages, no little time. Merry Christmas to you…many hugs!

I love “City of Angels”…I have to add that one to my collection. I hadn’t heard of the new one. I’m not sure what it is, but I love Meg Ryan in most anything she has done. I do love her most with Tom Hanks…they have a great connection on film.

I hope you are right…I know I will find the right way. I am strong…I just need to get comfortable with “not knowing”…seems to be difficult for me at times, but I’m learning to stay in the moment. Take baby steps.

In the moment is what matters but don’t just rush into another relationship… It always ends miserably.

I am too..I’m afraid I am addicted to romance..the kind you see in movies. I am praying…as the new year comes..that I will find that kind of romance, love and respect….sigh. The movie “Her” looks really good, I’ll have to see it.

I was young I didn’t understand love but now I am wiser but now no one wants a 56 year old man… The problem with me is I care too much… Remember you are part of the divine and deserve goodness.
