Christmas is over for another year ...


Christmas is over for another year.  Lots of snow is covering the ground in my small town.  I was blessed to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinner with my family here in Elliot Lake which, thankfully, remains covid-free.

Today is December 28th.  The tree is put away, the Christmas decorations are packed once again to be brought out again Christmas 2021.

Now I look forward to New Year's Eve; a lovely New Year's Day Dinner with friends; and a family birthday dinner for both my daughters on January 3rd.

Mostly the new year for me will mean getting back to work on my most recent writing project, STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light.   So far I have twenty publications available exclusively on Amazon.  STRUGGLE will be my twenty-first;  21 books in 2021.  

I also plan to try to learn how to play the autoharp.

And I plan to get downstairs to spend some time with my oil painting hobby.

Soon it will be a new year.  I am optimistic that with the vaccine soon available to most of us that 2021 will be a much more positive year.  I see the vaccine as the light at the end of this tunnel we have been traveling through since the early months of 2020.

In 2020 I am blessed to have become a great-grandmother to a beautiful little girl.  

In 2020 I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Samson, "Sam".

In 2020 my most recent book, The Observer - His Eye is on the Sparrow joined my book family on Amazon.

In 2020 I spent much time in self-isolation singing my way through the pandemic on singsnap.com where I recorded hundreds of favourite mostly old songs and songs of faith.

In 2020 I made welcome changes within my home knowing I would be spending a great deal of my life going no further than my front porch or my backyard.

I kept busy throughout 2020 and I plan to do the same in 2021.  

Life is good and life goes on.

My little tree is in a big competition

 



My pretty little Oncor Christmas Tree is only 4 feet tall.  It is decorated with tree ornaments that are filled with love and happy memories.

I don't know how much of a chance this little tree has in competition with some very beautiful big trees.   

I do know that the tree that receives the most 'likes' on Oncor's Facebook page will be declared the winner and that winner will receive a substantial sum of prize money.

So I'm reaching out. I am not asking you to declare that my tree is the most beautiful, unless you really think it is.  I am just asking you to 'like' my tree.

Thank you.  Your 'like' is much appreciated; more than you know.  xoxoxox
