This year started with a roar or shall I say ended and started with a roar.
Health issues in family, trying to still have Christmas, New Years, taking care of business. Whatever. I also found myself questioning and doubting some things. I read another blog by Laura
a girl I have known since she was a baby. She really got me to thinking.
I always worry. In fact, people who really know me, know this is an understatement. But I have found myself worrying about events in my life that do not deserve them.
I have decided to share goods and bad:
Art made it through a very bad time, and Jerry, myself and Barb managed to take care of Chloe for two weeks until Callie was off for the holiday.
My cousin and her family are having a very difficult time, but somehow we have our "fireside chats" and we are coping together. I will do anything I am able to, to help them, as I know she has been and still will be there for me. My nephew and niece lost their baby which was a very unhappy and sad time for all.
A friends daughter was told she has a horrible disease, I think of her all the time and pray for her, hoping time will bring better and swifter answers.
I have learned that all I can do is try to do my best for others, I like to think I have, but sometimes you find yourself wondering what you have done to offend someone. But I cannot fix everything I would like to. Still care so much but have to let it alone.
My son is engaged to a wonderful girl, Chrissy. November 2. So happy and excited.
We have wonderful extended families. Charlene, George, who also helped us through the holidays.
Her son is also getting married this year. And I love Michael as a son, and hope to enjoy times with his new wife. Am excited about making his grooms cake!!
My future new family members, Michelle, Jennifer, also were there this year and I am looking forward to many happy times with them.
My church friends, Joyce, Joyce, Katie, Dawn, Sue, Suzanne, Madelyn. They are all so good.
So although this year, as all years started have good times and bad times, there is always hope for the future.
I thank God he provides me with this insight and keeps all of us going.
