December 2010 (yearly wrap up)

So the end of 2010 has almost come to a close. I was going to wait till the last day of 2010 to provide my year end thoughts but today gave me the desire to have a look back to January to read through to recall how the entire year has panned out. 2010 was my 1st complete blog. I began my blog by sharing some thoughts, clearing my head and highlighting some things that I didn't want to forget. I must say that I'm so glad I did as I'm convinced that we get so busy in everyday that we or at least I need to think back and remember what really happened and what is important. The time that I had to spend with my family and friends are the most important to me. I managed some well deserved trips to places that I have had on my bucket list and am so glad that I was able to go. 2011 will hold special memories as well I'm sure and what those are have yet to be revealed. I am almost certain that there will be changes with my job, my family and maybe even my mode of transportation.  I have not set goals for this year, but I do have some dots on the map of life that I wish to pursue. I won't reveal at this point exactly what those are, don't want to spoil the fun in having you not read my monthly post. I would like to give THANKS. Thanks for the memories to those that give me a reason to smile and be grateful for the blessings that I continue to receive. Thanks for the tears that I shed for those I wished were here to share in the memories that I'm blessed to be a part of. Thank you to my family and friends that always support me in the decisions I make and continuous love I receive from each and everyone of you. 2011 will bring us challenge with life decisions, death and with any change in every day circumstance our faith will also be tested. I hope to love a little more, pray for those that need extra encouragement and to take the time to hold tight the ones that mean the most to you and of course there will be moments we bite our tongues cause we know deep down inside it's just not worth the fight.
So with that I say
God never promised life without pain, Laughter without tears Or sun without rain. But did promise Strength for the day, Comfort for the tears and light for the way, And for all who believes, He rewards their faith In His everlasting love ♥

    Well said Sista! That is what I love about blogging too - we forget so many important things (and what is important). Looking forward to 2011 blog entries (way to keep the curiosity up - I'll be back to read for sure)!!

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.

November 2013

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

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
