Team TLC Movie Night: My choice – “Miracle on 34th Street” – Another seasonal favorite…

I say, “A testament to faith, love, and imagination.” And a quote from the movie, “Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to believe.”

Thomas says, “It’s good.”

Lillian says, “Good, my favorite character is Susan, good for Christmas, good moral, and liked the music.”

Wonderful and COLD walk this afternoon. Brrrr! Nature is the perfect reset button for me. Deeply grateful. 🙏💙

Welcoming committee of one this afternoon as I crossed one of the foot bridges. Cutest lil rubber duckie with a message to go with the flow and be in the moment as that’s where the power exists and is available.

Ian Moran and Anne Weasley … I thought of Susan and just know this was her way of hugging me and happy dancing. She must know something I don’t! 💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡

Magical clouds …. 💙💙💙

My homemade gift to Thomas. Favorite color is a shade of aqua and favorite color combination is yellow and white. xoxo

That is Thomas

A beaming smile
To light the way.

A mind that
Craves to know
The why, the how.

A heart that
Thumps, thumps, thumps
With the wonder
At every pondering.

A young person
Making way
Through this
Crazy thing
Called adolescence.

Conversations,
Never dull.
Conversations,
Always full of passion.

A beautiful
Shining human
That is this one
That is Thomas.

Love,
Camilla🚀💞
Mom
xoxo

The Art of Miss Chew

I loved, loved, loved this book! Another by Patricia Polacco and this one is based on the true story of how Polacco became an artist. It’s the story of her first real art class taught by the amazing Miss Chew.

This is a heartwarming story of discovering she was an artist and the wonderful teacher who helped her discover it!

Loved, loved, loved … Did I say I loved this book? xoxo

Deeply Grateful for the Generosity and Kindness of Others

Deeply grateful to another guardian angel for helping to get this started. I can now tackle that first tooth! I will soon have relief from the worst one …. Ahhhhh …. Much, much blessed … 🙏💞💞💞🙏

This is a “there’s no way I can pay for any of this” plan. “Tell me what is the worst off tooth and put them in order from worst to least worst” plan. HA!

I’m deeply grateful that a friend gifted me the money to at least begin and get that first tooth fixed. I have not eaten on that tooth in way over a year. I keep getting headaches, neck aches, and shoulder aches from them too.

So … never been so grateful to sit in the dentist chair!! January 3rd!! YAY!

I have two crowns (and only 2, thank goodness)! They both have holes in them. The last one listed is not causing problems so it shall wait until further notice.

The first one listed is the one causing problems. I haven’t been able to eat on that tooth in a year or longer. Other than those two, and the few cavities, I have healthy teeth and gums. Yay! I have this weird thing where I get gum line cavities that have to be addressed every 5 or 6 years or so.

This IS the second opinion. The visit with the first dentist actually had a lower estimate … Yet, that’s because they didn’t even mention the tooth that is the main issue! And, they both looked at the same x-rays.

I also didn’t feel comfortable at the dentist office I visited initially. I felt anxious and couldn’t wait to get out of there! When visiting the second dentist office, I immediately felt relaxed when entering. That is a HUGE factor for me.

I won’t be addressing that second crown listed. It is not causing problems. That tooth has had a root canal so I don’t feel anything from the hole in that one. Just the top one listed, initially, and will get to the cavities when I can.

I am very in tune with my teeth and gums. Although, I’m not an x-ray machine (heehee), I can tell what’s going on. I don’t do cleanings; and haven’t since about 2007. I only go to the dentist when a specific issue needs addressed.
