Whew!!What a month it's been here.Busy as can be.In addition to celebrating Christmas and New Year's we made a move.On December 31st.In the middle of a small ice storm.We now live in the same complex as our daughter and granddaughter.Being closer to family is a really good thing.We're still unpacking but settling in quite nicely I think.Though we will always love small town life we are adjusting to big city life very well.Smile.It's nice having our loved ones much closer.Speaking of family I got an amazing gift for Christmas.More newly found cousins.Since finding my half sister on my dad's side in 2003 I have also discovered a massive amount of cousins.And a couple of aunts as well.Turns out my paternal grandmother had a whopping 19 children!Whew.That's alot of kids.No wonder I have cousins across the entire US and probably Canada as well.It's been an interesting trip.One I am enjoying immensely.Though not all the info I have learned about my dad and his family has been good I am thankful to have a Heavenly Father who never disappoints me.Big grin.
So,it's 2008.A new year has begun.A year of blank pages in life's journal gazes up at me.Beckons me to enter in.Stop and stay awhile.Leave a mark,my own unique mark on it's many pages.I pray that the marks I leave behind will bless many.Both near and far.But most importantly I pray God Himself will be blessed.It's all about Him anyhow,is'nt it?Have a blessed day everyone.
Love~Sharon

I hope your new home in the new year is thoroughly blessed. Did you have to downsize or do you have more than enough room? I never seem to have enough room for things or maybe it's just that I have too much stuff.
Sparrow!
Thanks for stopping by dear friend.Yes,We had to downsize.But,it's just stuff.Totally replaceable.:-)I am not much of a pack rat.Never have been.So,that's immensely helpful...

Nice to meet you Sharon. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I see from your profile we have much in common.
We have just finished watching a new rendition of Pride and Prejudice and it was so enjoyable.
I will be coming back and looking through your blog. For my story it is the early years that giv e meaning to the later years so I would encourage you to start from the beginning. Ihave quite a way to go with it yet. Of course in once sense it will never be finished. More than anything it is a story of God's Grace and faithfullness. That's what it is about.
I saw your comment on Barbara's blog and I see that you are an Oregonian. I'm a native Oregonian but live in Southern California now.
Dear Sharon, Thanks for all the prayers and visits. They mean so much to me. I don't get online for very long so it's taking me awhile to visit and get back to all my friends. Know I think of you each day. So glad your move went well and glad you are near family. They do mean a lot in our lives. As do precious friends. Thank you so much for your friendship. Love and ~hugs~ am still in much pain, but slowly am improving.
Sharon!!!
