AN END AND A BEGINNING

Life is funny,

isn't it?

We are ending the year-

Some of us are happy to see it end-

Some of us feel sorrow.

There have been endings this year

for some of us.

I think of bj-Sweet Nothings

and sweet Leena-Pink Cherub Moon

both lost husbands this past year-

and their sorrow still hangs heavy.

Many more of you lost family members-

too many to mention here.

However, to balance that

we have 

NEW BABIES & GRANDBABIES-

Sheri-Red Rose
& 
Amy-Masion Decor

are just two that come to mind.
We have enjoyed wonderful

GIRLFRIEND PARTIES-

Kris-Junk Chic Cottage

and too many more births and

GOOD TIMES

to mention.

Some of us moved into 
NEW HOMES
and blogged about it-
Marty-AStroll Thru Life
and
Penny-Enjoying the Simple Things.

Many of us 
STOPPED BLOGGING
and are immersed in
INSTAGRAM
FACEBOOK
and other
SOCIAL MEDIA.

I miss some of the
old blogging days
but life changes and 
we need to move forward.
We need to embrace new ideas and outlets-
no matter how hard it is for us.

I have laughed with you as

you told funny stories about your families 

and life in general.

I have cried with you at your losses

and prayed for you as you,

or family members,

struggled with cancer and/or

ill health.

Many challenges are ahead of us

in the upcoming year

but I have faith that there 

are many joys there, too.

I will be back to share more

about what is happening in

our lives

in  a few days.

BIG CHANGES 

going on here again.

Here are just a few
bits and bobs of
CHRISTMAS-
just a sweet reminder that
the Holiday has come and gone.

Sweet Memories
from my daughter's home-
the last one we will celebrate there
as she prepares to move.

Onward we go----

I will wish you a 

VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Wishing you 

BLESSINGS & JOY

in 2018.

Love to all of you-
new friends, old friends,
and those I have yet to meet.
