for who knows how long, from who knows where or whom.
I saw these words this morning, instead of just passing by
them, as I have done for so many years.
They seemed an appropriate blessing for the start of this new year, and
this feast day of Our Lady.
A Happy and Blessed New Year to you! God bless!
ReplyDeleteAnd to you also, Fran. 2014 was a blessing of a year in so many ways, yet with the four loved ones in our small caregiver's support group dying in December (the last funeral will be Monday), it had a trying ending. In many ways, I look forward to an even better 2015.
