Can you believe that 2010 is already upon us? Do you, like me, wonder where the time has gone and how it is that your children are growing so fast and furiously? Do you remember when the summer lasted forever and it seemed like ages between Christmases? I do! And I could just swear that I was holding my own ”babies” in my arms just a few short years ago but reality is that it was almost 10 years ago. So, what is my point you ask? Enjoy each and every day as if it were your last! Take time to hug your child, your husband, your friends. Wave at your neighbors and smile at the grocery store clerk or the stranger you pass on the street…you have no idea how one simple act like that can change a person’s day and brighten that one little moment in their lives!
It was cold a couple days ago and my kids were due to arrive home in a couple hours. Knowing how much they love to watch the fire burning, I thought it would be nice to build a fire in our fireplace for them as a surprise when they got home. After 15-20 minutes, I had a nice, cozy warm fire burning. Of course, if you ask my logical husband, he’d be the first to tell you that fireplaces are like letting all the heat in your house fly right up and out the chimney! Humbug! Even if that is true, there is something relaxing and warming to me about a fire in my fireplace so my dear hubby humors me…and I love him for it. And, apparently my little Frisco agrees with me as within minutes of me starting the fire, he had perched himself up on the arm of the overstuffed chair that flanks the fireplace. Guess that makes it four against one in favor of the fire!
Happy New Year dear friends and family! May God bless and prosper each of you…not only monitarily but with health and happiness in this brand new year we are embarking on. ~ Dawn
