Goodbye 2016 … Hello 2017


2016 was a year of trials in many ways, but it was also a year of wonderful blessings in every way. The heartaches were soothed by the balm of answered prayers which helped to dull the pain of the continual attacks from known and unknown assailants. Even so, I would not have changed a thing even if it were in my power to do so; the trials strengthened us in many ways … encouragement when the heat was at our backs, boldness when faced with frontal confrontations that could not be avoided, joy unlimited during the year we spent with our beloved baby grandson – from July to June – and the welcome happy news of a future marriage for our granddaughter who is marrying a great fella, perfect for her in every way. We also thank God for courage to step away from all we have known and walk confidently into a future that holds warm surprises as we contemplate a move for us to a sunnier and kinder climate that will do wonders for our aging bodies; we don’t know exactly when that will happen as there is much to do here in order to move there, but hubs is talking about it, so it’s a safe bet to say it is happening, and I am G.L.A.D. – I’ve wanted to relocate for a while ;-)


But the perfect end to the past year was the unanimous kicking to the curb of the wicked obama’s and their rotten-to-the-core administration: (((((((THANK GOD!)))))))) they will all be gone! And may everything they forced on America/Americans be repealed and overturned; and may they quickly be erased from the annals of History and evermore be forgotten …

We also got significant snowfall – twice, and a welcome thing it was to this snowbaby. Being a December baby, I just naturally love snow days:

4” of snow measured even as the sun starts melting it …

So while typing this post while looking at the beautiful snow while reflecting on the past year and watching birds flock to the feeders and squirrels race along the fence line out back, facing 2017 suddenly looks bright and golden :-D
