Hello again bloggers...
Wow. it's been so long since I have set my eyes on you blog. How are you? I'm doing well, thanks. Starting over is sooo good for me. I feel great today, the sun is shining, it's a wonderful feeling to have the sun shine on your face. It's just another one of those amazing gifts God has given us to help us out with our daily struggles. You know, even if you were blind, deaf or disabled in any way, even in a coma in a bed somewhere, if you turn your face to the sun it WILL shine on you! And it feels the same to everyone, it's truly a gift that everyone gets to enjoy. It gives us vitamins for our bodies to absorb, it warms your skin and it does something to our insides too. It lifts our spirits, even if we were inside feeling its warmth through a window. Always remember to take a moment and feel God's warmth on your face...it's like a kiss from heaven...especially made for you! xoxoxo♥

Moving Forward....
Well, as of the New Year I have taken on a different way of life. I am a happier person, I sleep better and I feel much better in my head. This new change has also brought many other good things for me. I have started a new job at a local nursery. My background is in horticulture and I have found that getting back to it has dramatically changed my outlook on life.
Just being around blooming plants lightens my heart and just does something to me. The smell of a freshly opening Hyacinth is so lovely to me, it makes my heart smile! I am glad that I had the opportunity to take on this job, of course with the help of my parents and grandmother also taking Autumn off the bus and staying with her until I get home!!! I just knew that getting back to work was going to be something good for us.
You know, I have been talking to God a lot more lately. I ask him to lend an ear and I ask him for guidance. I also Thank Him for all the blessings he has already bestowed upon me. I am grateful for so much in my life, and I will continue to serve Him in every way possible. It is easier to wallow in grief when the chips are down, but I have learned that this is the only life I have, this is the only body I carry around. Bringing happiness to myself should always be a part of my life. Allowing others to help and be thankful in tough times, staying positive when it is almost impossible to be, and allowing my heart to open to forgiveness are some of the things that I have learned to do throughout all of this. I'm still working on much more but for right now I am taking it one day at a time. Today is a good day and I am thnkful for it! Tomorrow is tomorrow...but I still feel positive about it and even if the sun doesn't shine, the birds will still sing and the flowers will still bloom. Thank you God for this day.

Christmas Pageant 2010
It was a beautiful day for a Christmas pageant. The date was postponed originally due to the "blizzard" we had before Christmas. All of the angels were there and of course the animals and shepherds too. This year Autumn got to hold the Star that summoned the Three Kings. She would only do the part if her friend Hannah would do it with her.
So...here they are carrying the Star into Bethlahem with all of the angels following behind. What a sight they were, I guess I am partial because I am their Sunday school teacher after all! They really were adorable.
These are just some of the memories that I will chrish forever!
God Bless us all!
