2011 comes to an end

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 we all wish that we could keep our dearest with us the pain and suffering that each endured was short lived so we are grateful for that. My wish for 2012 is to live life to the fullest,  surround yourself with loved ones as much as possible. Trust in yourself. If it's meant to be it'll happen.

I want to be remembered as someone that was there. I mean available. I love to create memories with my grand child. I have read many posts recently about memories of loved ones that have now passed. I struggle with my memories, as I can't recall a lot of childhood memories with my grandparents, or cousins since I didn't spend a lot of time with them growing up. Both my parents relatives lived a distance away. I hear of others recall memories of their childhood and the time they spent with others with gratitude. When I think back on my past I have feelings of sadness and missed opportunities. I look at my grand daughter and hope that she remembers the trips we took, the time we laughed playing silly games, reading stories and knows that it was time well spent and worth remembering. I shed tears for the children that don't have memories of a happy childhood and for parents and grand parents that missed opportunities to laugh, live and be loved by the little people that

January 2010

So here goes, it's 2010 and I have created a blog. I have wanted to blog for awhile but just wasn't sure on what I really wanted to say. My older sister has been blogging for awhile and always look forward to reading the latest happenings in her life. My reason for blogging is just to share some thoughts, or maybe remember my own thoughts of what is happening in my life throughout the year. I will begin to add favorite photos and collections that I enjoy. If anyone would like to say hi please feel free.

December 2012

I know, I know, I'm posting and haven't posted since July. I don't know why. I do know why....I feeel like my blogs are the same...i have been so preoccupied with other things that I haven't taken the time as I should to dedicate to my blog. I apologize..this was really something that I wanted to keep up with at this stage of my life to keep me on track with the day to day things that were happening. I forget sometimes that life has a way of taking over and one day rolls into one week, one month, and so on. My plate really isn't that full, but my thoughts about other things that aren't important are taking over from what is really important. I'm hoping that 2013 will see me reflecting more on the "what's important to me". So since July let's see if I can't recall what has been happening in my "busy" life. It seems the summer has come and gone with a flash. My dear friend lost her brother to cancer and it was a very hard time
