On The 25th Day of Christmas

Today is my 25th day of Christmas, it is also my 25th wedding anniversary. This year has brought some changes to my life so I won’t be celebrating this landmark with my husband but I do feel that there is much to celebrate. So my children and I are going out for a nice dinner tonight and celebrate that these 25 years brought them into my life and they are my true joy. I have learned that you never know from day to day what life is going to bring you but your true blessings are always there right beside you. I now know all who walk beside me. I wish you all a very happy holiday. I will see you here again after the New Year. Happiness to you all!

What wonderful Christmas quilts you have shared with us this December. I truly enjoyed seeing them. I hope you and your children will be able to overcome the sadness of your marriage coming apart - you have the right attitude it seems and I'm sure you will manage and find happiness. Your children are lucky to have you for a mom it seems to me.
