Shazam! just like that another year has passed like lightning....and the first word that comes immediately to mind is thankfulness. A few notables made my year happier, better, more enjoyable....i'll toss in a few finish photos for diversion...lol! but at the forefront, i thank my God always for constant care, love and guidance. He did some awesome things for me this year, not always noteworthy, but always an expression of His deep love. This was evident not just in my life, but family members too.
my family--all of them! a special mention of my dear sister-in-law who came to my aid after leg surgery, discharge one day and moving 4 days later! it was an adventure, wasn't it?
all my healthcare providers. the news wasn't always welcome, but the treatment was...and those home care RNs and PTs who got me back on my feet...unsung heroes indeed!
the folks at my wonderful new place....staff, neighbors, others who guided a newbie in town, and my new church family who welcomed me and found a place for me to worship and fellowship. i haven't completely bonded but feeling more at home every day...it is so very difficult to move and establish all new connections.
have to include my online and in person quilty peeps, some i've known thru several moves! the gals from 'down under', the stashbusters, the senior center gals....all have enriched my creative life by several notches.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!

ReplyDeleteYour approach to life with all it brings is indeed grace! Here's to 2024. P.S. I really like the pineapple blossom quilt with the scrappy border.
ReplyDeleteLife is such an adventure. I am grateful that you have family who are supportive and helpful through it all. I hope you soon come to feel embraced and cared for in your church family. You are a gem, Grace. Blessings for the new year!
