Spending Time Together

We have spent the last weeks trying to live life in our new "normal". We have been through Thanksgiving, my 42 birthday, and Christmas since loosing dad, each of which was difficult. I must admit, however, that with each holiday, it was family and friends who made it seem less overwhelming. Thanksgiving was our time to be with the immediate family. My birthday, thanks to my dear friend Cissie, included a simple get together with friends. Christmas was a chance to change things up, and I will write about it soon. I am thankful for each of you, and for all of the prayers from friends here and all over the world. Blessings to each of you, and prayers for an uneventful new year. I am certain that I will approach it differently, knowing that each new day together is a blessing and should not be taken for granted. Wishing you a wonderful 2009!
