Live for each day!!!

This year I have decided not to make any new years resolutions!!!!  I am going to have goals and aims instead, so here are some of them; One of them will be to sleep more!!!  Another to laugh more... Spend more time with the people I love and care about... Be the woman of God I know I can be... Have more commitment to my studies... Not to worry about small things but focus on the bigger picture... To protect myself more, however not to allow self-made barriers to control me... Dream  big.... Love more.... Take more chances... Become more dependable... Become less naive... Develop Relationships... Read more... Journal More... Broaden Trust, but post guards... Ignore silly negativity... Pray more realistically... Not to worry over things I cant change... Smile more... Live life to its fullest...

As the scarlet sunset slowly fades, And dusk introduces the night, The crescent moon on center stage, Gives forth a semblance of light. Perching on the mossy dock, Staring out at the mirrored lake, I reflect on this new battle, Unsure of which road to take. In this dark serenity, I humbly look up to You, Asking for Your guidance To show me what I must do. Gulls appearing as angels Are soaring though the skies, A congregation of wispy clouds, Have taken control of my eyes. Billowing sleeves of purest white, Seem coming through the haze, Majestic, gentle, outstretched arms, At once command my gaze. Asking for some answers, You've come with Your embrace Through the just born evening, You've filled me with Your grace. The water without a ripple, Reflects this scene from above, A most magnificent masterpiece, Painted wholly with Your love... Evening Answers - BSC

God, I'm in this place again, I'm trying so hard not to fall. Everything keeps coming down with the rain, And I try so hard, I forget to call. Everybodys looking around and wants to be found. And I'm just hanging on; I give you all that I am... Everyday Sunday - Hanging On

Christmas day was manic in my household as you can imagine!!!  We were all excited, Jack especially as Santa came to visit!!!  It was wonderful to spend the day with my Grandparents.  They love the noise and commotion a young family brings, they join in all the games and we all do have a giggle. Each year I note one thing that makes my Christmas.  This year amidst all the mayhem and noise my grandparents brought me the greatest happiness.  The whole time we opened our presents they sat there holding hands and smiling at each other. The whole time we played games or watched the film their love for each other radiated. After 49 years of marriage and 52 years of being together, I think that is an amazing thing and something I can only ever wish and pray for. 

This is the life we've been given So open your mind and start living We can play a part if we only start believing This is the life we've been given So open your heart and start loving We can make a start if we only learn to listen Take That - The Garden

Just wanted to announce that it is 7 hours and 1 minute until Father Christmas comes... I was having a discussion on Monday night about what gifts Santa puts in the stockings yearly - my list was things like a satsuma, chocolate coins, cotton wool, nail file, deodorant etc etc that's not including the little surprises!!! Eric thinks Father Christmas should be banned or something (which I think is appalling !!!) spending the day on Monday with some children who were so excited about Christmas was stunning, they were so excited for Father Christmas to come and were certain that they could sometimes hear bells, which meant Santa's helpers were watching them making sure they were being good!!! I just hope I am on the good list this year........
