The year has flown by quickly and has ended on a soggy note. It has been raining nonstop all day, but on the bright side it hit 60 degrees. I don't ever recall it being this warm on the last day of the year. We are having a mild start to winter despite many days of overcast and gloom. Sunny days are welcomed any time. This was a strange year for the weather. Our winter never ended until May and we jumped overnight to hot humid days. It was not a good year for enjoying the outdoors. It has left a lot of people with seasonal depression including myself. I am praying for an early spring and lots of flowers.
This year will be in my mind and heart as a turning point to a new chapter of life. The miracle of babies has brought much happiness, love, and laughter to our family. The grandchildren have been a healing grace for bringing a family back together. They are the best gift ever.
Natural disasters will come and go and we loose people we love and it is all a part of life. We hold on to good memories, practice forgiveness, and love is always there to remind us how wonderful life is.
The year was a lesson on what life is all about. After seven funerals this year, I have been living each day making my own dreams come true. There is no waiting until tomorrow as we realize that someday will be here sooner than we realize. To my friends and family that we lost this year your memories fill our life with comfort.
Loosing one of my childhood friends way too soon has left such a void in my life story. I think of her everyday and will always carry with me her smile, warm sense of humor, and love she had for her family and friends. May she rest in peace and we will continue to reap the memories of her beautiful personality.
Well the wind is gusting at 50 miles an hour and sending 2018 on its way. My husband is asleep beside me on the couch. I will wake him in time for 2019 and a kiss. Look out world here we come.
Happy New Year !!!😊
Life is beautiful!!
