My Pride and Joy

Another old layout redone.

Journaling: "Christmas time is wonderful now that I have you. I love to see your faces of enthusiasm and wonder. Everything is extra special for you and you can’t wait to enjoy it. You know that it is a time to spend with family, be good to our neighbors and be the best we can be. I don’t know what I did to deserve such happiness. You are my pride and joy and am happiest when you are with me."

Comfort and Joy

During stressful times, I visit the lake to clear my mind. The beautiful scenery is inspiring and makes me thankful to be alive. The familiar path that I have walked countless times offers comfort and grounds me. My journey in life is sometimes daunting but having my children with me gives me solace and a constant source of unbridled joy.
