Last day

Of the year and

My emotions are all over the place.

This year has been challenging and a little rough.

But it has also brought me so much joy and growth.

New opportunity to soar in love and friendships.

I honestly can say this year ends to end but saying goodbye will be bittersweet.

So as the hours slowly go by and hope that next year will be a little better is what everyone wants.

But the truth is only God knows what is to come, and I’m trusting in him that whatever happens.

It’s him. As 2020 becomes the past, he will always move on with me as 2021 will be brighter.

Even as life here on Earth becomes darker and sometimes so unknown.

Faith will get me through it as it did this year.

In A

small town lived people who have dreams and desires

like everyone else in bigger or smaller towns.

But in this town there was no strangers but family and more family.

They supported each other no matter what was going on and they light up the town every winter in hopes to draw someone new in.

For once you visited this town, you never seemed to want to leave and even if you do you don’t stay away for long.

needed a moment by myself

just to enjoy a little meal.

To get lost in my thoughts as this year is almost over

and to reflect on the things that have happened and how much I have grown.

This year has been tough and yet I got through it and will continue to grow

as new things come in next year.

hopeful as the day goes on.

But, of course it explores into so many pieces

I’m not sure where to start to clean it up.

And right now I just don’t want too.

For the year is almost over and I’m ready to start a new journey and forget about this one for now.

Everyone I hope your day is full of love and joy and laughter.

As you spend the day with close knit of family this year.

I know things will be smaller but I hope your day is full of love and hope.

That will last more than just for today!

God bless you all!

This Year

it will be just the four of us and even though our group is small.

I know we will have so much fun and laughter will stay in the air all night long.

Time will fly by but not as fast as we savor every moment and second we have together.

As the year slowly comes to a end and so much is to happen before it’s all over in a week from now.

But, I have hope that we will all stay safe and be brave and get through this next storm even better than the last one.

Frozen

to the touch as winter blows in.

Leaving behind too much snow and ice

but like the storm I am slowing melting away as it warms back up outside.

And the snow that made things so hard and dangerous outside as many people drove home trying to get there safely.

Days later and like the snow the memory of that day starts to fade as the week slowly but surely creeps towards Christmas day.
