I have really been amazed at how long it has been since I blogged. I have missed it. This is therapeutic for me. I am alone in the house today. Don't get me wrong, if you have read my blog in the past you know I do enjoy the company of my husband and after many days of being alone, I get really tired of the monotony, BUT, I haven't been alone in a very long time and I must admit it is nice to just be alone with my thoughts and have the time to reflect on this past year.
Many changes have occurred in my life or maybe my attitude toward life. Everything did not turn out the way I would have planned it for my children or grandchildren but I have come to a peace in my soul that there is a God that has his hand all over my life and He knows what is best for me. I have learned in 2010 there are some things you must relinquish, they are not battles for you to fight they are the Lord's.
I am ever thankful for all the good things in my life and the Lord has been especially gracious this year. He has provided work and everything we have needed plus some things we just wanted. I am thankful for health and we have rediscovered the truth that if you are healthy you are blessed beyond measure. I am especially thankful for a healthy mind AND a healthy body and the abilities to take care of myself. I am so thankful for a warm, safe and pleasant place to live. I am thankful for family, precious grandchildren and for friendship. Of course the list could go on and on and on. I hope in 2011 when I have a tendency to grumble about this or that, that I will remember how wrong that attitude is and that I will change it immediately. Life is too short to be gripy and I pray I remember that also.
The Lord has been good to us in 2010, not just because we had a good year, because God is good all the time, no matter what. Happy New Year to you. I pray you have a blessed 2011.
