Day 100 to 103 - Safey and Dedication

These last few days we have experienced bad weather (and still are).

With roads iced over I am grateful for the safety of our travel, when we did have to travel; I am grateful for the safety of our home; and I am grateful for the dedication of all those employed in service occupations: hospital and nursing home personnel, from the janitor to the doctor who keep facilities clean and tend to patients; police and fire departments who keep us safe and come to our rescue; road and power workers who do their best to clean roads and make them drivable and who take care of fallen power lines and power outages.

Without these individuals, our communities would be totally crippled. Many of them spend nights away from their families.So, it is with gratitude that I say thank you to all them for working during hazardous times to make our lives safer.

Day 64 to 99 - Innumerable Blessings

I am so sorry for the long silence. Life is what happens to you while you are making plans, so the saying goes.

Although I have been silent on the blog, I have still been blessed and have tried to recognize my blessings every day.

During this time I have seen the hand of a loving Father in Heaven guiding me when guidance was needed and comforting me when I was in need of comfort. Although life has taken a different turn that I expected, wanted, and anticipated, there is still a silver lining. There are lessons to be learned that will make us all better individuals.

I am grateful for my life with its challenges and rewards.
I know that with Heavenly Father and the Savior on my side, all will be well.
