2012!!

Jan. 2nd
Ahh, a new year--clean slate, new opportunities.  My biggest goal this year is to be present in the moment; to enjoy what really matters:  my family and friends.  I want to eat less, exercise more, and all that....but most of all relish all the blessings I am granted every day.
I hope to grow in my faith, watch my spending, and express my gratitude to God for all He has blessed me with.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Oh, so grateful.....as I sit by the fire, hubby and kitties snoozing, I am oh so grateful. For our family being able to spend such a wonderful holiday together, for good health for all...for the music I am being serenaded with (The Canadian Tenors), for our Saviours birth, for my salvation.  For my daughter and her family surprising us at church today, for the amazing wife, mother and young woman she has become.  For the joy of Erik and Angela and their wonderful children....For too much food, for laughing, for this and so much more especially today.....I am oh, soooooo grateful.....

Fri. Dec, 16th:

TGIF!! I am glad Margie was able to get into the chiropractor for her back, and pray she will feel relief soon.  I am grateful for the nice salmon dinner I shared with Lee tonite.

Sat. Dec. 17:

Glad we live as close as we do to be able to help out Margie and Bill, to spend time with Jake., and that we were able to assist in selling the Alero for them. A nice dinner at Vitales with Tommy and Marilyn--nice to get out!

Sun. Dec. 18th:

Good bible class, even if the treats I brought were purchased.  So glad that Julie W is able to work for me Thu. so I can take Jake if needed, and happy that Lee can go Mon and Tue.  Shopping done--beds made--ready for the OK Scotts!

Dec.13th

I love our new shower head, the warmth of my morning rinse!  I am grateful for haveing coffee ready in the am, courtesy of my loving hubby.  I was happy to find the needed ingredients for a dessert for chruch, for having a husband that is such a great cook, and tries new recipes--tonite--chicken pot pie--YUMM!!

Dec. 14th

So happy that my Pinterest account is working--am anxious to try it out.  This morning I exercised, and am so grateful for how I feel after my yoga!  I am very grateful for Lee seeking me out to get the kiss that was forgotten at the door!

Dec. 15th.

Today I am grateful for ibuprofen after overdoing my stretching--I MUST LEARN!  I am very happy that I could get my hair trimmed and colored.  For being there to talk to Kathy D.--a tough time she is having, but doing well, I think.  I am grateful for a warm home, 'building' a fire on a blustery day!

Dec. 12th

A good day at work after a good nights sleep. Getting together with Ketters and Loehrs, such good friends we are blessed with.

Dec. 11th:

Today I was grateful for the Choral service, and for the freshness of Pastor Borgwardts' preaching (encouraging clapping!).  It was so special taking Jake to see the lights, and watching him on Papa's lap.  Family is such a blessing.

Dec. 10th:

A good day, lots accomplished:  cookies for Christmas, cleaning done for Jake coming tomorrow, and a nice evening at home with my wonderful husband.  I am so blessed--looking forward to tomorrow--choral concert at church, and lights at the park with Bill, Margie and Jake! :)
