Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live
“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.” ~Ann Frank
I have a new home, but I am losing my job. I have a wonderful family, but wonder what will happen next. There are so many unknowns in life. Everyday I wonder what will greet me in the day. Life has been a roller coaster of amazing times lately. Today was the first time I manged to gather all the kids together at the same time. A bbq in the new place, even though they will be here for Thanksgiving. And for once the timing came together. Nanny, Lloyd, Ladybug and Butterball; MacDougal and Funsize; Bear and Fishboy, and even Sparkles altogether in one place at one time. Laughter and love, fun and games. Sparkles and Lloyd had to leave early though, to go to work. As they went to leave, Funsize and MacDougal asked if they could wait a moment…..
I am going to be a grandma again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so blessed and amazed. I know it will be wonderful and beautiful and amazing. I just know it will be, whatever it is. I feel Collin’s presense so strongly, I know he has had a hand in things.

I’m so sorry your losing your job. This economy has got to turn around soon. Do you have any options or prospects open for you yet.
Congratulations on becoming a Grandmother again. I know your looking forward to it.
I’m very happy for you that you were able to get everyone together. These days, that seems to be hard to accomplish sometimes.
Keep your chin up, and think positive.

Congrats on the new baby. We’re expecting another one (grandbaby) in March. How exciting!!! I pray that you find a job you love soon. You sound like a very nice person. Who knows, maybe your apron business will skyrocket. Wouldn’t that be nice. Using the internet – the world in your market.
