Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well, this has been one crazy year, that seemed to go by so quickly in some respects, and in others, like health-wise, it has been sloooooow going.  I couldn't let the holidays go by without letting everyone know how much I have appreciated the support and caring I have gotten from friends and family.  I also want to let you all know how much I care for you all, pray for you when you have ups and downs, and love to listen when you want to talk.

During the year, I have had to back off beading some, until I can get my cataracts removed, but at the same time, I have been doing other things like gourd art, weaving, drawing, paper and mixed media art.  I have wanted to pursue these things for a long time, but have put it off because I always had a beading project (or two!) going, and never managed to do anything else.  But now, I can, and it has been a blast!

So I guess this post is mostly about counting my blessings.  While some things have been difficult, they only resulted in good in the end.  So, this year, I learned that if something gets in your way, if you search your heart, you can find another path.  My path is ever changing, and I thank the universe for that.  And I thank the universe for all the love I have been given, this year and every year.

So to everyone, have a blessed holiday season, no matter which holidays you celebrate, and be safe, happy and healthy in the new year!
