Blessings, blessings everywhere, and what an awesome day! Every year before Christmas, I think "I wish I'd done more, I wish I could have gotten this or that for the kids, or for Tony." But somehow, every year is enough, every year is special, and every year I realize how blessed we are.
This year, our son Ben and I had the opportunity to volunteer at St. Mary's food bank with my company. We packed food into boxes for the elderly, who receive these boxes once per month for 12 months, in order to help them survive for a year, hopefully until other services kick in, or they get back on their feet.
My husband and I both still have our jobs, and Tony has another book idea that may be picked up by the publisher of his other book. I have changed to a much better position at work, and I have an opportunity to start a marketing website for locally pulished authors.
We have great kids. Ben still plays clarinet, and Julie now plays trombone (it's nearly bigger than she is!). We have a good house that we can afford, and we can pay all our bills (especially if I pay attention and get it done on time every 2 weeks!). I graduate with a bachelors degree in business and marketing in May.
My parents are still relatively healthy, and we're able to enjoy time with them. We're far away from some people we love (and miss), but we're able to stay in touch with all the new technology the world has to offer.
It is a good life. God made a wonderful world.
