The Last day Of 2010

When I look back on this year it is with gratitude.  I know I didn't always show it, I didn't even always feel it.  But in the last hour of this year , I am grateful, even for the hard lessons learned, maybe particularly for the hard lessons.  And for the blessings received, for the love of famiy and of friends.  For the warmth of the home I share, for the care shown me.  For the couple of new friends made and old friends revisited.  For the good health I have enjoyed.  For the health of my children and grandchildren.  For laughter shared and for the few tears shared, for time spent alone and for time spent with others.  For my bedroom at my daughters home and at Harolds home.  I am indeed a fortunate woman, I am at home in two homes.  This year I gave away one of homes to my first born and before the end of next year I hope to give my other home to my younger son.  I believe I am giving things away to make room for new things, things that will be lighter to carry.  And I enjoy giving and knowing that my children have homes.

My New Years message to my children and to those I love is this:  "To those whom much is given much will be expected".  You were given good, strong bodies, beautiful healthy minds, parents who loved and wanted you and siblings who care for you. Partners who love you and healthy, beautiful children, now even some of you have grandchildren.  Be grateful, give thanks and give back.  And know that your Mother, Grandmother and Friend Loves You......................Happy New Year To All.
