ADIEU 2011

ADIEU

French for goodbye, farewell...

You would think we are all French these days lol...

I confess, I love the language... The sound as it rolls off the tongue...

Do I speak the language? No. 

As I bid 2011 adieu I have some thoughts to share...

Ramblings if you will.

I have no resolutions like weight loss or starting an exercise program...

But I do plan to do the following in 2012...

Cultivate my faith... My love of God...

Be a better wife, mother, grandma, mother~in~law, daughter, sister, friend...

Make the most of the gifts I have been given...

Just be grateful for what I have because it is so much...



I'm going to water my own grass and I encourage all of you to do the same...

Happy New Year Friends!!!!

Blessings to all of you in 2012!!!

    In fact, I had just set out my daily devotional books to do some daily reading each morning.

    Happy New Year!

    I wish I knew French so I could say a lot of mushy things. I don't...so in my best Texas drawl I say Happy New Year and I think you got the right idea!
    XOXO

    P.S. I don't know how you could improve on being a finer person than you already are.
