New year, new entry. I am so grateful for my family; my husband, my children, my 12 grandchildren (the perfect things in my life), my parents, my favorite sister and yes, even my 4 brothers, (which also includes their families). The blessings from 2008 were sometimes seen through tears but I have truly been blessed this past year. Many lessons learned, some hard taught, some not so much. Looking forward to new things to come this year, though the work is not done. There will be no vacations or free time again this year. Life is work, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Love to you all.
