January 7, 2015
Hello all:
Happy New Year!! Here we are in the year 2015! Did you EVER think that you would be around to see that number? I never imagined seeing it. Do you remember the song "(In the Year) 2525"? Scary to think how close that song actually comes! WOW!
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas. Other than getting sick, our Christmas wasn't too bad. We had my side of the family over Christmas Eve and it was a good time. Lots of good food, lots of laughter and time for reflection as well. Our sister, Lynn, said to me one day that "the holidays aren't the same anymore and they never will be. They aren't as fun as they used to be." We have lost our parents (except for Karen's father-in-law, Jack, who was here as well), Lynn and Karen have lost their husbands and the family is getting smaller and smaller it seems. We have to remember, though, that we still have each other, we have our health and we need to live in the present and appreciate who and what we still have. One day we will see our loved ones again, and what a Glorious day that will be!! Hallelujah!!
Sorry. I didn't mean to do a sermon. I guess maybe I should open a new blog so that I can "reflect" on things such as this. I get carried away. :)
As usual I am the one behind on getting my cards done for class. I apologize for that, as some of you would like to see them before class. My bad. I kept telling myself that this year it would be different. Guess what? In my own defense, though, I have been sick (physically, thank you). I got sick Christmas night and had it for about 8-10 days. What a drag! Sore throat, exhausted, so I slept -- A LOT! Colds are no fun. Anyway, I am able to sit up and take nourishment now, so I guess I will be among the living for a while.
Anyway, I hope that you like the cards and will be in class. I know that it is going to be really, really cold, but I hope to see you there anyway. I'm willing to go if someone is willing to be there!
