It's the last Sunday of 2012..... What have I accomplished this year? Sometimes it's hard to remember what all I did get finished or even started.... But I do know one thing..... I was loved. By my husband , my children (maybe not every day) by my grandbabies (all 5 of them) by my sweet brother, my mother in law and by my sweet wonderful friends. Most importantly I hope each of them knows that they were and are loved by me!
I have a bucket list. I crossed one item off just last week. That was to successfully make from scratch a chocolate merengue pie (made 2!). Another item in my list is to go zip line . But that will have to wait till this summer .
The most important thing for me personally has been rediscovering my absolute faith in The Lord . My faith has always been there, but it's sort of been a back burner item, I am ashamed to say. Many occurrences have led up to my understanding of "it's time" to put The Lord as the center of my life. One occurrences has been the question that keeps running through my mind, have I set the best example I could for my children and are they setting the best example for their children...... I know the answer.... And I am going to work at improving that.
Music.... I love music. Really all kinds. From Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Etta James, the 60's and 70's pop,
To Reba and George, Garth and Trisha. I love listening to my friend, Diana Wood...who could be a star.. She really is that good (and she is a star in my mind)....
Horses.... I love horses. The good, the not so good.... Their soul which can be seen and heard without them ever making a sound. Have you ever really looked into their eyes? You can learn so much by just spending time with them.....and looking into their eyes....
I hope each of you takes time to reflect on your 2012.... Figure out what is most important to you and make priorities for 2013. Remembering some words from a 1976 song from the Steve Miller Band, "time keeps on slipping into the future"... Let us all strive to "fly like an eagle" and make a difference.
I hope you will join the conversation in 2013 and let's make a difference.
From the heart of Redstone Farm...
Happy New Year and may the good Lord smile upon you.
