Happy New Year 2012

 

 

I can’t believe it is a New Year Already.

I can't say that I am sorry to see this year end!!  I spent 6 months of this year down in bed after the accident.  I have been in pain from one degree to another every day.  I am still healing and so is John. I am much better now but my therapist and doctors say I will probably have pain in my ribs and arm the rest off my life. I am hoping they are wrong.

There are many things that I can no longer do… but ….if you asked me
if I regretted this year I would say…. no. …

In spite of the challenges there have been many blessings.

 

has been a year of Miracles, Challenges and Blessings.

Friends  & Family have rallied around us, served us & shown us  boundless love.

We have felt the power of prayers.

We know our lives being spared was a miracle & we are
thankful.

I learned much this year. 

Below is the list of things I  told the ladies I had learned when I was asked to speak at our WIC luncheon.

Actually, I knew most of these things before…
but the accident reconfirmed them to me. I plan to elaborate on these 10 lessons at a later time. For now … here is my list.

_____________________
1. Life is eternal.
2. There is real power in prayers.
3. Calls and Cards are better than medicine.
4. We are stronger than we think we are.
5. You might as well smile through the hard times.
6. Brightening someone’s day makes you feel better
7. Friends & family make all the difference
8. Accept help graciously
9. There is a difference between being and doing.
10. God is always there to comfort you and help you succeed. You just have to turn to Him and
trust  in Him.

I am thankful that I know these things.

Did 2011 teach you lessons too? I’d love to hear about them.

…

I look forward to-

I hope that you do too.

I have Christmas and New Year smiles that I want to share with you but I can’t today.  Today, I just want to say hello and wish you all a-

I still am not feeling up to par.  I hope you are. Have a great week. Hugs, Grammy Lura
