Here it is Spring of 2009. The winter of 2008 seemed to drag by slowly as each new found day brought an assortment of weather shades. Most of the time it was dreary and my fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis did not like the cold one bit, although walking in the snow was a beautiful trip back to my childhood. I remembered distinctly how the snow crunched underneath my brand new black patten shoes that were a size too small. I had never had new shoes before so I was willing to suffer because I felt like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz...except my shoes were black and flat and small.
The skies are clearing a little each day and the wind is still a bit chilly but the air smells so fresh and alive! This month we once again welcome the new arrival of buds, crocus, hyacinth & snowdrops. To follow will be much, much more of an array of colors that the good Lord has given us. Oh how I do appreciate this wonderful gift just for our pleasure.
The beginning of 2009 also brought us the new arrival of a beautiful gift of a new born child. My brother Randy is now a Grandfather. He is the youngest in the family and he beat us 'middle kids'! The little princess is so beautiful...but then so is Mommy. Her Daddy is big and strong and handsome. They have been truly blessed.
I have been writing up a storm for Chicken Soup Series and Cup of Comfort Series but I will not know for a while if they have made the grade. It has been difficult writing because of my condition and I can't stay at it too long but I keep plugging away. I shall post another story soon but just wanted to touch base and let you know that I am still alive and kicking seeing how I have not made an entry for quite some time. I am sorry for that as I do enjoy writing for you.
I want to thank those of you who visit and read. You are my encouragement,
Blessings,
Glady
