I BLINKED AND ANOTHER YEAR FLEW BY!





 “Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day

 with no mistakes in it yet?"
 
(Lucy Maude Montgomery from Anne of Green Gables)





Hopefully, you had a year to celebrate and hold dear to your heart.  

I hope it didn't fly by so fast that you missed the blessings woven into each day. 





My year caused my head to spin at times, but I tried my best to slow down and take notice of the good things around me.  My camera helped me do this.  I now have some memorable moments captured just so I can smile again!


I hope your year was filled with memorable moments.  


If your year wasn't so great I wish you a better year ahead.   


I'm grateful that we have the opportunity to shake of the dust, so to speak, and pick ourselves up and start over again. A new year means hopeful expectation of what can be.


May we be thankful, not only  for a new year and a chance to start over, but for the actual opportunity to start over whenever we choose. If we need to, we can start over every single day!  I'm thankful to God for his gift of never-ending grace (the real reason we get a new beginning is what He did for us, He offers it freely).



I'll choose to grab hold of His outstretched hand and see just where He wants to lead me today!  I'll follow the path He lays out before me...but if I just happen to misstep I'll choose to turn back to Him for the grace which never ends!  
  


Amazing, isn't it?!  Truly Amazing!  

His love is immeasurable!


He loves me!  He loves you!  



I'll wake up each day and say "Thank you God for loving me. Help me to abide in you and keep me Lord, keep me!" 


It's the beginning of a new year 
and a chance to start fresh... 


Yet each new day offers a clean slate  

~

So...HAPPY NEW YEAR...
HAPPY NEW DAY!!!

Hi, I just watched your episode of My Family Recipe Rocks and I just wanted to say that I thought I was the only one who does their prep work in a pan. When I saw you cutting the chicken in the pan and adding wine and everything I was taken aback because I thought I was the only one who did that. I've never seen anyone else do that before. Haha. Also your episode was great and I think it's amazing that you got to have your mother's handwritten recipes. I hope to be able to leave behind my handwritten recipes for my children.
