Merry Christmas, my friends and family! This last year has been another difficult year with Paul working on a new pain management which is quite grueling for us as a family. Tristan will be graduating highschool in Feb and he turned 18 this year. The muscular dystrophy is moving the autism to higher levels as he is aging. Me, well, I have spent the year reorganizing, setting up the new Tax Office. I have been working on myself and working with God to reconfigure myself to a better person. Mostly, I have been unpacking (who I am and why I am) here in my snow globe in South Dakota. You would be surprised how much your mind clears and changes when you quit smoking and drinking. It's been since right after my 49th birthday and even though, I know I can't have one drink ever again, I am so happy! Bringing this full circle...... I have asked for all of this during my life. I remembering saying throughout my life, "God, If you help me with this, I will take whatever comes with that". The full circle that I have realized so far in the last couple of years is that, EVERYTHING, I have asked for in my life through my heart has come true! EVERYTHING! I am loved and I get to love. The miracles the Lord has given all 3 of us though out the years, is the reason, I believe with my whole heart and soul in Jesus! I am grateful for it all. Every bit of it. Merry Christmas to you all. May all your dreams come true!
