I'm so thankful for all the blessings we received in 2016. However, it was a little depressing to see the passing of so many celebrities as well as friends and family. With the changing of the year, I'm hopeful for good things to come.
Each year, I try to review what the year brought. Let's take a look.
- Remodeled the rent house for my Mother
- Regulated Mom's meds
- Reinvigorated my blogs
- Completed many crafts
- Held on to my part-time job
- Completed surveys, focus groups, transcriptions and coding for work
- Attended (or sent my husband to) many auctions
- Sold many items on the local auction site
- My son (Nicholas who lives in Maryland) came home for a wonderful visit
- Saw my son (Jaydin) marry the love of his life
- Watched sons and daughter-in-law (Jaymin, Jaydin and Miranda) graduate from college
- Enjoyed my grandson (Mattox) during the week days
- Met my daughter's future husband (he doesn't know it yet)
- Oldest son (James) landed a job within the state, so now he's close enough to come home quickly
- Drove my dear friend to western Oklahoma
- Hosted music sessions for my husband and his musician friends
So, it was a good year after all! I'm just so happy that I'm here on earth and able to see the family growing and, at the same time able to enjoy the simple things in life that I have longed for.
But, I'm a dreamer... I dream about my future life at my home out in the country. I dream about gardening and enjoying the sunshine. I dream about creating and making things with my hands. I dream about selling my beautiful creations online because I have too many pretty things. I dream about my children coming home with their children to enjoy a long weekend together. I dream about the future grandchildren and the music they make when they laugh.
I'm ready to welcome 2017!
