APPRECIATION

Christmas is over,

Lights are disappearing,

A sad time for some of us,

Disappointments seem hard to bear at this time of year,

We all want to be jolly and merry,

I missed seeing Leah and Craig,

Hope Astrid had a Happy Birthday,

They are both growing up so fast!

The rain is washing the snow away,

It will be easier to walk,

We appreciated the delicious turkey dinner cooked by Carol,

and her helper Panteli,

We were a small fun group,

Opening Christmas presents is always exciting,

Hopefully we will do better buying gifts next year,

We appreciate the visits from Sandra and Randy. Carol and Panteli,

We are enjoying the cookies and muffins they made for us,

We appreciate all the hard work of cleaning the snow off our driveway,

Thanks Sandra and Randy and Panteli,

Thanks also to Hilary doing some shopping for us,

Also for Sandra driving me over before she left from visiting dad,

Carol did a great job driving me over to get my third shot,

Everything went very smoothly,

I just sat in the car and rolled up my sheaves,

I had a lively visit on the phone with my brother,

His boys are being very helpful.

Cleaning the chimney and the driveway and bringing food,

He always says a prayer for my family, much appreciated,

We do not know what the New Year will bring.

We are praying for better health for all,

We need renewed energy and stronger faith,

God's love has the power to transform and heal even our broken hearts,

Dad and I are so thankful we have each other

and our family and friends,

A calm morning after a very windy night.
