Happy New Year !

From my Cottage to yours...


I would like to wish all my faihful readers, who supported me during a tough 2019, a wonderful new year. Thanks to your emails, I know that 2019 wasn't easy for many of you as well.

Je voulais souhaiter à tous mes lecteurs fidèles, qui se sont montrés si attentionnés en cette année 2019 difficile, une merveilleuse année. Par vos mails, je sais que 2019 n'a pas été tendre pour certains d'entre vous aussi.

I will not obey to the tradition of doing a revue of the past year. I'm not forgetting it, it has definitely shaped me... and given me a few new wrinkles !

Je ne vais pas obéir à la tradition de faire un résumé de l'année passée. Je ne l'oublie pas, elle m'a modelée... et donné quelques nouvelles rides !



Now that we are rich from 2019 experiences and lessons, let's step into 2020, wiser and more eager than ever to grab every good thing life has to offer.

Maintenant que nous sommes riches des expériences et des leçons de 2019, entrons dans 2020, plus sages et pleins d'ardeur pour profiter de chaque moment que la vie offre.



Yes, I think that's what I want to wish you a year full of eagerness ! It might not be traditional, but it's what my heart feels like telling you !

Oui, je crois que c'est ce que je veux vous souhaiter, une année pleine d'ardeur ! Ce n'est sûrement pas traditionnel, mais c'est ce que mon cœur ressent !

  29. Hi, Magali...glad your coming out into the light again. Speaking of dark places, 2019 it was a REALLY challenging year for me. I fell on our sidewalk after checkig the mail and scraped my top lip. The inflammation from the healing process caused the cells to become maligant...no kiddind-cancer, on my lip! We have a top cancer hospital here, Moffitt Cancer Center, so I had the best of care. Three skin grafts later, and disfigurement, I'm cancer free. It came back four times traveling through the nerves. Talk about stressful! Then, my sweetheart black Schnauzer, Elle (4 yrs) was diagnosed with gentic periodontal disease. What?! I took her in for a checkup and wanted her teeth professionally cleaned even though I brush them. She had to have 18 teeth removed and one tooth way in back fell out during cleaning! My poor baby! Who knew about genetic peridontal disease-never heard of it before now. I cried off and on for days. She came from two grand champion Schnauzers. Heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking. Yesterday I was meditating on how down I felt and why was this since all this was behind me. So my thoughts turned to going on vacation. What was it about vacation that made me so care-free and happy? Joy. I felt joy on vacation. So I'm trying to do even the smallest of things that help me to experience joy. I figure over time and with prayer I can pull out of this mindset of no joy. So from me to you, I wish you joy this year. And I'll take you up on eagerness, too! I have zero eagerness to clean out the garage before warm weather hits this year...��

  30. I've been dealing with my own 2019 issues and had not been to visit so I'm catching up. So sad that you lost all your precious kitties right in a row! How hard it must be to find yourself without them. I did go all the way back to your pretty new bookcase, and I found it turned out lovely. Hope 2020 is the year we all turn our faces towards the sun and regenerate. Nonni mentioned a vacation in her comment above mine here. That does sound so lovely. The heart yearns for some happiness again...hoping someday to find it.

  32. Greetings, Magali! it's been a long time since I visited your blog. I haven't been blogging regularly, and haven't been good at visiting others' blogs. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear kitties. Although it's belated, I wish you peace and joy in 2020. The world has become a crazy place, and we all need to find a way to find calming influences. I hope this year is good to you!

  45. I thought about you a few weeks ago and then found a link to your blog via your comment when reading an old post from A Joyful Cottage in 2016, so here I am. You had a terrible 2019 and of course who knew what a disaster 2020 was going to turn into in January. I hope you have recovered somewhat from the loss of your cats - I currently have two and have lost a few over the years. They always live on in our hearts. Anyway, I couldn't leave without telling you how much I looked forward to your posts and that I wish you every happiness. You entertained many of through your posts. Although 2020 has been such a bad year for so many, I hope for you it has been as gentle as possible. Wishing you all the best in every way.

  46. I know you haven't published for almost a year, but I must tell you I've missed you. Each time I click on "The Little White House on the Seaside" in my bookmarks, I see no new updates, but I pray for you. I'm sure your year of 2020 has been tough, as has it's been for many.

  59. Let me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
    Thanks.

  60. Bonjour,
    Pas de nouvelle sur le blog depuis longtemps. Je guettais, je guettais, puis j'ai perdu le lien, que je viens de retrouver par hasard, pour mon plus grand bonheur.
    Hélas les choses n'ont pas évolué positivement pour moi. Je suis toujours dans mon logement social. Je cherche toujours un emploi stable, afin d'avoir le droit à un crédit pour racheter un cottage à rénover. Je m'accroche à mon rêve.
    J'espère que chez vous tout va bien pour vous et les minous ainsi que la famille.
    Vous nous manquez. Vos chats et votre cottage aussi.
