New Year greetings from my home to yours

Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

I’m sure hoping 2014 is a good year for all of us! This year certainly had its trials and low points for me and my friendships with folks like you kept me going and your prayers kept me pointed in the right direction. I’m hoping and praying God gives me direction and more thoughts to share in the New Year. Happy New Year, Pat! Love you!

Almost time to take down the Christmas tree, so I thought I’d grab one last photo. Then when I looked at this one, it reminded me of the New Year’s Eve ball and I knew what to do with this photo. And oh, I’m so excited for my prize from Dianna!! Her photos are so very lovely!!
