| Great topic M., that really makes you think...I love that !
Last year was so bad that I thought this year could only get better. Big surprise....this year was a continuation of some very difficult times in so many areas. I would have to agree with the others that I am so happy, because it has helped me grow as a person. Despite all this going on, I have learned how to find joy and be grateful for even the smallest blessings. Somedays it is even as simple as a stack of clean towels fresh from the laundry ! LOL
I am also learning how to find peace even in the midst of lifes' serious problems. This is very hard for me, and takes a lot of prayer and letting the Lord work it out...He is a much better problem solver then I could ever hope to be.
One of the other things that has made me really happy this year are all my friends here. I always breathe a sigh of relief when I can come to our site and spend a few minutes. I love the fact that we can support and encourage each other, ask questions, give our opinions and without the fear of being criticized, or ridiculed. You all are the best!

| I never thought that it was possible to build relationships such as we have built through a website. I am so thankful for you all.
