Welcome to a New Year - 2024!
Wow!!
I will be turning 60 this year. Crazy thinking about where all the time has gone.
All the memories, all the peoples and pets.... So many loved ones have already passed on. It's getting to the age of wonder as to 'how many' years one self has left?
Looking back at all that has happened, both good and bad. Thinking about the dreams we once had and how things 'really' turned out. Is this the life you planned? I wonder how many can say, YES, this is what I wanted and how I wanted my life to turn out.
Christmas is the time to remember and think about the past and all the wonderful blessings and miracles one has had in life. The New Year is a time to look forward, to dream, to hope to plan on what you want to accomplish in the coming year.
This is part of why I un=Christmas, the day after Christmas. The house is clean and fresh and ready for a new beginning. Papa had to do most of the work this year, I just kind of packed and pointed. He had to do all the climbing, lifting bending, mopping... I so appreciated the help.
This year my back was in critical pain.... I managed to sit up and hold back the tears while the kids were here. Sadly, I was glad everyone kept the visits short so I could lay back down. I get to see the back doctor in January, and I got to tell you this has been the longest most painful wait ever!!!!!
Papa reminded me of how it seems every Christmas, I have something going wrong to make the holidays a challenge. Wrecking my truck was in December. I've ruptured tendons in my heel in December, had super bad tooth aches, in December..... and now my back...
Thankfully I have a new seating arrangement that helps support my back so I can get some sleep without too much pain.
UPCOMING EVENTS ~
The house goes up for sale in the new year. Things are going to be changing. We have a few ideas for the 'where are you going'? location. We will see which plan works out. A lot of prayer has gone into this one. I do believe God is leading us in the direction that will make life better. For all involved. IF plan A works out, you'll be surprized where we end up!
Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn

Until next time, Stay Safe and Happy Trails
