January 1, 2009


Ring in the New Year with a sense of humor ... a grateful heart for being alive ... an outlook full of possibilities of the days to come. Whatever is just beyond tomorrow, may you accept the unknown path in front of you and make good choices and decisions. Give God your best and let Him carry you the rest of the way. (old optimistic proverb that I just made up ... but it does have some validity;)

Hello, glad to be back to following your blog. Congratulate me, I'm up to date again.! I read up every single post you did from Nov 19 to Jan 1. Last post of yours I read was on Nov. 16, just a few days before my husband passed away on Nov. 23. I so enjoy reading your entries - so honest, down to earth... and one post I really appreciated was one entitled No Stress Christmas. You were so right in what you wrote. And now, your New Year's Day 2009 proverb -- this one is so right on! I do accept the unknown path in front of me... After reading your entries, I offered a prayer for you and your family - your special child, your soldier son, your teenager grandson... I pray your allergies will go away and you'll be ready to receive the fresh insights that God has for you this new year! Blessings to you, Mrs. Mac!
