Yup, so here we are at the close of one year and the beginning of a new one.

Again. For the 46th time for me.

I am finding I write blog post in my head but they never make it on here. I wish they would. They help me process and think through things.

My father in law passed away a few days before Christmas. What a hard day, week and I am quite certain months ahead that was/will be.

My mother in law, she is still with us but really? half of her is gone and she is feeling it in every way possible. When scripture tells us to leave and cleave and become one with our spouse it is for real. Losing someone after 55 years of marraige? I can hardly imagine but I find I do imagine, over and over again and thinking has not been a bad thing this time.

We all only get so much time ya know? I find myself trying ever so hard to be more patient with my kiddos. Love my husband a bit better. Enjoy every moment. It is work. It is hard. But it is not without reward.

Life is all about relationships. I tend to complicate that a lot. I love relationships and have many of them. (Yeah, I am THAT person). I want to be good at those relationships. I really do. But sometimes they get ignored, pushed aside or taken advantage of because? I am human. I want to pay attention and be better at this relationship thing this year.

Oh dear, speaking of this my family seems to need me, I hope to be back on sooner then later.

Happy and Blessed New Year Everyone, Live each moment thoughtfully and fully.
