MERRY CHRISTMAS

I expect that this will be my last post before Christmas,so here is my wish for you.

I am also including the letter which I sent out to people with a card.

I count all of my followers as my friends,so this later is to you as well.

To you my dear friends,

    As you all know, the last 15 months or so have been filled with change for me.. I would not have chosen the path on which I find myself right now,but God knows what is best for me. When my beloved Jake took his final breath on November 10th of 2010, my whole life was turned upside-down. Now I can honestly say that it is beginning to be turned right-side up again. 

    2011 has been a year filled with many sad moments,yet,I can also say that there have been many good times.God has taken my hand and walked along with me through the ups and downs.

    I feel so richly blessed to have you as one of my friends.I want to thank you for the support and love I have felt from you. It is during a time of deep sadness that we find out who our real friends are,and you are definitely one of them. Thank-you. 

   I look forward to what God has in store for me in the coming year.

    What are my plans? I make plans very loosely,as I know they can be changed in a heartbeat.I do want to continue to pursue my photography,as this is something which I very much enjoy.I also plan on staying with my job as a school bus driver,at least for a few more years,Lord willing.Besides this I am always willing to join friends for coffee and a visit.

Thanks for your friendship and I will be back after Christmas,but first I will celebrate with family and friends who are near.
