This has been one amazing year. Life has been so busy I realized I haven't even written on my blog in over a year. Life has gotten so out of my control this past few years that taking any time for myself has been a opportunity I've not allowed myself, and my health has paid the price.
This year many of our friends have lost their spouses, and parents. Many have seen such sorrow that Larry and I've not had to deal with as of yet in our life. We've had major diseases strike our family and friends. As I have complained to my husband about not having time to turn around, he reminds me we are still blessed to still have the opportunity to take care of others. As this year comes to an end, life has afforded us more freedom than we've had in over 3 1/2 years. We are now able to get back into church (which we both missed so much), have time to actually run errands, and get a little rest which wasn't afforded to us for so long. As we go down this new road in our life, things will change, new adventures will be afforded to us, will we choose well, or not? I hope and pray our decisions will be the right ones for us, and our loved ones.
We are looking forward to our annual Christmas Eve church service, and dinner with our friends. Larry and I have always gone to a Christmas Eve service as part of our family traditions, and then go home to enjoy the peace and quite before the busy Christmas Day visitations begins. Christmas Eve is always been special to us because of the peace it brings to us this time of year. It's all about the reason of the season, not what gift did you receive. It's about the miracle of the day.
We are blessed indeed, Larry and I may have had a few slips with health issues, some family received diagnoses we didn't want to hear, grandkids may have received a few broken bones and stitches, our grown kids may need knee surgery, but all in all we are good, we are blessed indeed!
I hope and pray everyone has a blessed Christmas, an a wonderful and safe New Year Day.
Channeling my inter Audrie Hepburn, and Phyllis Diller. Hoping and praying that folks see me as a strong christian, classy, smart lady, and someone who enjoys a good laugh. Grace and humor are both attributes that I think are needed in this world. I'm striving to enjoy this life, please join me on this blog experience.
