Well it is that time of year when you can’t help but reflect. As I reflect on the blog I realise I am not very good at keeping up with it at all. you would think that nothing had happened and yet so much has. What have I learned? I have learned that you never quite know what is coming around the corner!! Who would have thought that this year I will be a Grandma. Not sure I am ready for it but it is a reality. We are putting the house on the market and moving to accommodate the impact so that we can support Claire and yet give her independence. We are looking forward to the project the new place we want to move to gives us (or at least I am!!). I am praying it all works out. The other big thing looming is the fact one of our dogs (Megan, the cocker spaniel) has been diagnosed with cancer. The primary has been removed but there is spread in her lymph glands and so we will have to make a painful decision at some point. In the meantime she is being spoilt and could not believe her good fortune at not getting told off in a very big way when she stole a joint of ham out of the fridge and dragged it round the kitchen floor.
I have started a new job which I am very excited about. Emma is working hard in her last year at Uni. I can hardly believe it is her last year.
I have decided that I am going to follow the idea of my friend John Ager and record the year with a photo a day! Claire reckons I will keep it up until the end of January!! We will see. Watch this space!!!!
I am very privileged to have so many good friends and I thank God for them all. I especially thank God for my family – I love them all very much and I am the richer for them.
