New Beginnings

Is it really the end of March - WOW is all I can say and where has the time gone. I know I've said that I've been busy - but really I have. My leadership course is really impressing me. I have really felt that I've expanded my mind and have opened up about life, work and how I feel about things. It has been a lot of looking within yourself and really taking a hard look at what kind of leader you want to be, have had experience with and negative and positive impacts.It's been great. Work has been busy too - getting settled in my new office, working with my new team, and getting familiar with the integration of the work. Got my 20 year recognition gift, a new camera, I have been wanting to take a photography course so that I can become better at taking pictures so our next Scrapbooking weekend I'll be able to have nicer pictures to show up.Was glad to visit with my parents after their return from their winter holiday. It was nice to see them and I even got a swimming

Wow - if you think that I'm behind the 8 ball, you might be right. My original intention was to blog at the end of every month and low and behold I have noticed that I have missed a few months lately.

I am so happy to have another scrap booking weekend in Feb so am looking forward to returning to Ft. Sask with my sister, mom, aunts and cousins - it's always a great time getting together with everyone and get some more pics in an album. Love being organized. I am getting pretty g

So here we are December 31st, 2011 and I am about to wrap up another year. I was fortunate to spend some great times with family at Camp Stumpy, friends in New Brunswick and great memories with my dearest Isabella celebrating her 2nd birthday. My work life is about to go through some changes that I'm not sure whether I'll be happy with or not, only time will tell. I just celebrated my 20th year with the govt and I'm happy to say my reward is a new camera. I am still struggling with the disconnect that I am having with my son Joe as another year has gone by and I have only spoken twice and have not seen him since Thanksgiving 2010. He did visit his sister and gave his niece a birthday present so that is nice to see. I look forward to continued blessings for my family and friends and hope 2012 brings great health, happiness and less heartache than 2011. I lost my grandma B in October, my daughter lost a dear friend Harold and her boss Crystal lost her Dad John this year and w
