Merry Christmas!
Joy Ride by Grandma Moses (1953) I wanted to share a poem with you by John Greenleaf Whittier which I think epitomizes my feelings about this time of year. I hope you enjoy it.
Somehow not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing
Returns to make you glad.
(~John Greenleaf Whittier)
So it's Christmas Day and I'm feeling many things - happiness, peacefulness, and gratitude for all the good things that have happened to hubby and me this year. Unfortunately, blogging took a back seat in 2007. Hopefully you, my faithful friends will forgive me. I'm normally not a person to make New Year's resolutions, but if I were, the one I would make for 2008 would be to be out here on Blogger more often with you, my good friends.
Hopefully it will HAPPEN.
I wish you peace, prosperity and everything that makes you smile.
I've missed you all. Very much.

Hubby and I just got home from Houston this afternoon, and boy howdy am I always happy to get out of that crazy city!!
I posted the link to your new home photos but the ladies couldn't see it 'cause they told me it said to them "private". Oh well, I tried.
