I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy & Blessed New Year!! 2013 has been a tumultuos and trying year. So much water over the dam. It doesn't seem like it has only been one year that so many things happened, yet it went so fast. It seems like the years fly faster with each passing. I hope 2014 brings much happiness and many Blessing to everyone out there. I have made so many mistakes along the path of my life, and caused plenty of pain, but I can honestly say that I have not ever intenionally hurt anyone. I am sure I have hurt people, but not on purpose, and I have not chastised those who have been bitter with me. Sometimes that is only a small consolation for causing hurt without meaning to or without being able to help it. It is not always easy to bite your tongue, and words may not break bones, but they do break hearts. I will try to be a better person, and a more compassionate, forgiving and loving person in 2014. I tried in 2013, but sometimes came up a little short. I will keep trying until I get it right, or die trying. I do feel Blessed to have a warm home, food on my table, friends and family in my life, and places to entertain so many wonderful people. May God Bless you all and keep you safe.
