The NEW YEAR 2025

 

For today:

I know, I know, I used to say it every year; "Boy that year flew by," However, I cannot say that for the past two years. I am not going to dwell on our problems. Those two terrible years (bad for us anyway)  are gone, and there is some promise in the coming year.

I enjoy all of your blogs.  At times each of you write something that penetrates my heart and life. NOW, this NEW YEAR'S words that hit me, came from Chatty’s Blog. I hope she doesn’t mind, I copied this from my sweet friend from Atlanta.

Chatty Crone: DECEMBER 31 HAPPY NEW YEAR ANY RESOLUTIONS?

Quote....

My dear friends have gone through tornadoes and hurricanes, losses of homes, losses of a brother, losses of pets, family members with dementia, children with drug issues, losses of family members, losses of friends, illnesses in themselves, some have a family member that has limited time to live, depression, loss of a sister, miscarriages, children issues, looking for new homes to move to, old age, financial issues, and surgeries.  

We need to keep these people in our hearts and pray for them.

I just had to repeat that, That is such a solid honest and true statement. YES we do need to be reminded we are in this world together and EVERYONE fights battles, many much worse than mine. I MUST keep that in mind.

How in the world does anyone handle life when someone near and dear to them becomes a convicted Rapist, mass murderer, child molestor, etc. That just might drive me to suicide, BUT I must remember SOMEONE is facing those terrible times mentally AT THIS MOMENT! THAT HAS GOT TO push the limits of mental stability.

What I am saying, and I hope I can remember this, MY LIFE IS GOOD, we are safe. No bill collectors on the way and our health is much better than most folks our age. Most of all, We do have confidence of making heaven.

I KNOW THAT! The Heaven thing, because a friend wrote me a book entitled, get out of Hell Free, no I am sorry, it is “HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN…OR YOUR MONEY BACK!” After I read it, I knew he  had written that for me.

So If I don’t make it, imma gonna demand my money back from Victor, I have the receipt!!  (just sayin)

BUT FOR NOW

 btw, We honestly haven't attended but 3 or 4 New Years Eve's parties, in our lives, but once at the Chief's Club in GITMO I was in line to get a drink, I thought I knew the man in front of me I tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned, I said, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else!"

He replied immediately, "I might be!"

I have never had a chance to use that line, I am still holding it. lol
