It is 11:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve. I do not see this hour very often anymore. The girls have challenged me to stay up until midnight. I am struggling to keep myself awake while they watch a movie so what better time to blog! If I don't make any sense, you now know why.
My in-laws were here from New Hampshire this past weekend. We had a nice time with them. I also got to spend time with my grandparents, father, mother and brother and his family over Christmas. It made me think about the blessing of family. To often we take for granted grandparents, parents, spouses, children, etc....... I have known many of you who have lost family members. Losing someone you love is so life changing. It makes one realize how fragile life is. It also makes me realize that our life is not our own but God's. We are in the palm of his hand and none of us know the day or the hour that we will take our last breath. It's so important to let eachother know how much we care about one another, to smile when we see someone we know. I often think about how much my kids see a frown or disapproving look on my face. I am certain that somedays they see an ugly face more than a smiling one. I will have to work on that. Life is a gift from God and one that I would like to try and not take for granted. Tomorrow..........I will try to remember to smile more and count my blessings of faith, family and friends. How about you? Happy New Year!
