Dear Blog readers,
I'm being lazy.
The wedding is over
It was beautiful
The cheesecake was absolutely awesome
All our kids were home except Laura
No one fought
(at least in my hearing)
The kids all left again and arrived back to their homes safely
We've had several wonderful and lazy days with Jana here
My husband has a new job
It's Monday
Meshayla's off being Nanny for Jeanne for 2 weeks while she works off her notice to quit
and stay home with baby girl
Little girls don't go back to school until tomorrow
It's a NEW YEAR
and I'm happy as can be to see the old one end.
My resolution is to make 2010 the very best year of my life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all. May it be a wonderful one for you!

New Year, A New Beginning
The old year ends, a new begins
With pages clean and new;
And what is written on each page
Will now depend on you.
You can't relive the year that's past,
Erasing every wrong;
For once a year - or day - is spent,
It is forever gone.
But don't give up in dark despair
If you have failed some test;
Seek God's forgiveness and resolve
Henceforth to do your best.
Resolve each precious day to do
Things good and kind and pure;
Though days and years may pass away,
These things shall still endure.
You know not where your path may lead
Nor what's beyond the hill;
But know that God walks at your side,
If you will do His will.
All things are possible with God,
Though days be bright or dim;
So do your best and know that you
Can leave the rest to Him.

ReplyDeleteI think... you've earned a rest! It sounds like a beautiful end to a lot of hard work.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you a lot... it must not be any easier to see the eighth child leave the house than it was with the first.
Hugs... enjoy your peace and quiet before the next storm of activity. :)
A belated Happy New Year!
