Out with the Old, In with the NEW year...

“Out with the old, in with the new?!?   This year we are all about "Out with the Old"...but as we get older, it just means the stuff.  The excess.  The junk taking up space in our home, minds and heart!  Looking forward to a new beginning to take the wisdom from the past and plant our feet more firmly in the ground. Want a piece of advice? Of course you don't, but when I look back at the start of 2023, I want to remember the motto and see if we held fast to this or drifted away!   Do it NOW!  Whether work, a phone call, a hug, a bathroom break, the gym, a hard conversation, a prayer...it doesn't matter.  Taking care of it TODAY will work for His good!   It doesn't take much to realize that if you just DO IT NOW...the stuff gets done, the heart gets changed, the prayers get sent, the people feel your love and more!   We ended 2022 at our fav HULU cabin as Chinook Estates is estimated to arrive when it arrives!!!  Happy NEW YEAR from this ...

Answered Prayers and a Reason for the Season

To the old and the new and the backwards and the forward...this month uploaded in reverse so I will start with the NEW and move to the OLD...but it's a new year so does that make it forward or backwards?!?! December and the start of 2023 brought snow and family time, near goodbyes and hellos that had not been had in awhile, performances and celebrations and lots of reasons to celebrate the real reason of the season!!! We ended 2022 at our favorite spot...the lake!  We aren't closer to having our own place, but we sure live like it is our own favorite spot.  Patience is a virtue, right..it's also a fruit!  We need to be so grateful for the ways that our patience is opening our hearts in this time/season of waiting! The NEW Year is for a new post...so for now, I'll take a trip down December's memory lane! Over the mountain...and off to visit Rich's mom!!! It was a great visit and way to wrap up 2022! Huge perk ...a hotel with a pool!  These kids were so excited to...
