Just in case I hadn't mentioned it before, I'm officially on vacation this week for a much needed rest from the every day stresses of trying to juggle two full time careers at the same time. It's been a hectic and extremely busy year. Some of the things on my plate were good, others bad, and all dealt with in a timely manner.
Now it's time to stop, take a breath, and look around at all the blessing showered on me this year: My family is still intact and reasonably healthy. My son sports a new girlfriend who makes him very happy which in turn makes ME happy for him. My sister and I have enjoyed some quality time together lately and God willing, for many more years to come. My friends are still by my side and I've even managed to connect with some new friends. I look forward to getting to know them better in the coming year.
I was gifted this year with a new to me car, a new to me computer, and the early release of my debut picture book, THE STORY CATCHER. My childhood dream of becoming a children's book author has come true and the new year is looking rather bright.
All that is left is my Christmas Wish for you, my readers:
May your blessing be many,
May your worries be few,
May the true meaning of the season stay with you
long after the decorations are put away,
And may all your heart's desires come your way
in the New Year!
Take care,
Donna

HI Cupcake! Please let your mom it is so sweet of her to order my book and I hope she likes it. I'm not even sure Tommy knows what a dog is since he's never been outside on his own but I'm sure he would like YOU! Merry Christmas to you and your Mom...

Thank you, Donna. My Christmas wish is for Tommy to continue to forgive me for stepping on his foot. My New Year's Resolution is to NOT step on Tommy again.
ReplyDeleteHi Janet! As long as you bring him his treats on Christmas Eve I'm sure he will keep on forgiving you...;~)
