Through it all, I must say that the hardest parts of the year for me are the holidays. Another reminder of the challenges I face when it comes to decorating, shopping, cooking, hosting guests, etc. I'm not who or what I used to be, but is that such a bad thing? Sometimes it is, but that just goes to show how I absolutely have no choice but to renew my mind and change my focus. I know... easier said than done.
Baby steps.
With all that said, I am so, so happy that the holidays are over and we can now resume our lives with some sense of normalcy. Decorations are down, boxed up and ready to be put away. That's H-U-G-E. Maybe not to some, but to me it's such a load off!
There is so much more that's gone on in the last year... maybe I'll blog about it one day when the time is right. Suffice it to say that there are many things up in the air right now and I'm hoping against hope that when they begin to come down, they don't come crashing down and shatter into a billion pieces!
On a very happy and exciting note our oldest daughter, Jessica, got engaged to her boyfriend while they were at a Hillsong Conference in New York. I can only imagine how exciting that must have been? She is so happy and looking so forward to getting married and starting a family and that makes this momma very happy, too! So, the wedding planning has commenced and is in full force. I'll continue to blog about the planning as it progresses. By the way, we're down to four months until the wedding and counting!
I've been trying to post pictures from Christmas and my daughter's engagement for this post, but it keeps cancelling during the upload. Sorry about that. I'll keep trying and see if I can't get this little issue fixed for the next time.
'Til next time... and hopefully it won't be another nine months before the next post!
