And so this is Christmas

As another year rolls on, I am thankful for my faith.

I am thankful for my family.

Mom is a huge source of inspiration and strength. 

The Seester is more of Daddy than any of us and each day with her is a treasure.

Cole-Always smiling, full of laughter, light and a hard working guy.

Trev-The keeper of the key, my level headed one and a rebounding and pitching machine. 

Elijah-My child of mystery, Far Side humor and a view unlike any other.

I am thankful for each growth opportunity I've been given.

 If I'm not pushed out of my nest occasionally, how will I learn to fly?

My family of friends-Thoughtfulness, kindness abounding & laughter unending.

O, star of wonder, star of night,

Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to that perfect light.

Ahhh...Beautiful...

In this life, there are huge, explosive things that blow my mind, middle of the road things that amaze me and the quiet things that touch my soul. 

Being loved for me, all that encompasses the ups & downs of what can happen in a split second and still being there means so much. 

It means more than words ever could to me.

Being jobless has been a humbling experience for me. It has torn my self confidence apart. It has forced me to rely on my trust, faith & family, It has jerked me out of my comfort zone. I strongly dislike it. It's harder to be self objective when I have nothing. 

It's forced me to re-evaluate everything.

As I watched Aubs & Ronnie Beau dance, their faces alight with the sheer pleasure of feeling the music, I counted myself blessed to have this experience, this family and this love.

Smiling...
Ahhh...
Beautiful,,

Keep Me Where The Light Is

Fall comes faster each year. Maybe it's the change of seasons coming quicker, maybe it's time relative to the distance of my memories. I am thankful for the moment I realized I was given infinite faith and love. No matter what may happen, there was and remains love. The love I feel has changed over the years...from infatuation to thanks to peace. And every day I am thankful.
