Happy New Year
I have been trying to log in on Blogger now for much of the day, to no avail. Don't know what is up with the system but I am glad that I was able to get on...Not that I have a lot to say but then that's ok too.
Woody and I are recovering from last night. We suffer terribly with the fireworks thing that people so enjoy here. Its an Asian thing I guess, fireworks scaring off evil spirits ect. Don't participate in that nonsense, what a waste of money. Just light your money on fire and let it burn that is what you are doing with that sort of trash. It frightened Makoa and Nani pretty badly. Had both of the kitties on the bed all night with us. Been cold and after 2 am a storm blew in and its been windy and cold. You all will laugh but 50 is cold here...When you are used to it being 75 all the time, 50 is a big shock. So the cold, the cats, the conflagration, kept me awake till the wee hours.
No big heavy thoughts on 2003 or 2004... I just hope that life will settle into a comfortable pattern somehow. Woody getting work. My store doing better...Moving to a new location. Making a new friend or two...
I don't make resolutions, I just try everyday to do justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with my God...(Micah 6:8) Sing a song and make someone smile.
Been very sensitive to others emotions and that is hard. I know its a gift and can be used for good but for me just now I feel the burden of it and its hard...The anger of the girls at the Cunningham. The disappointment when Woody doesn't get hired, My Mothers despair at being in the nursing home. Yet I know that God knows each thing and is working all of it out. I need to pray and believe.
Will be ending this early tonight. God Bless you all in this new year!
