Thought I’d let you know all is well in our household
Melbourne had the most horrendous weather during the past week
Hot humid and revolting, culminating in the most horrific storm on Christmas Day afternoon/evening
So apart from that it was a quiet Christmas – we saw most of our children and their children
And I realised this person and my family mean the world to me

This week coming will be taken at a slow pace as we watch the cricket on the TV
This week will be quiet but thats the way I like it.

I’m weary of the year 2011
I know they say ‘you get what you deserve’
but I’m sure I didn’t deserve the pain (physical and emotional) that this past year gave to me

How about you
What are your thoughts on the year just gone – and your hopes for the coming year?

I'm very sorry this has been a tough year for you Cathy. Ours has had its up and downs and I am hoping 2012 will not be as turbulent. All seemed to be well until the last four months when we had three family members from the eldest to the youngest with life threatening illnesses. I wish you and your dear family a Very Happy and Healthy New Year!

Hope that 2012 will be a better year for you. We lost my hubby's sweet sister this year to cancer, so it's been an emotional year, but I'm so grateful for our health. You don't realize how wonderful it is to have good health until you've witnessed a love one suffer. Happy new year and God Bless you and your family.
