Blessings of 2012

"The love of a family
 is life's greatest blessing"

As 2012 draws to a close,
a stroll down memory lane...
In January, I made my list
of what I wanted to accomplish
 in my home for the year-
Well, I have to say, not too much
got done-
But, family time took a priority
and 
I am so grateful that I listened to my heart-

May the new year bless you
 with health, wealth and happiness
and
may you discover everything you are
looking for right inside yourself!

Merry Christmas to all-

Signing off for a few days to spend
time with the ones I love...




Merry Christmas



May your Christmas be filled with 
The love of your families near and far,
The spirit of the season
and 
The excitement of a child's face
 on Christmas morn!

Blessings to all
