Thank you dear readers and thanks to those who encourage with their words in the comments. I do not measure my worth by them, still, it is nice to be encouraged by so many sweet comments.
I am overwhelmed with new ideas for the new year… though I am staggering at how to implement even just one of them (a tad bit behind the ball in the New Year’s resolutions)
There are so many things here in blog land that I REALLY want to participate in… but they take time to organize and assemble… Lord, help me to get organized so I can have the time to do them and expand my creative horizons a bit this year. And wisdom as to which to tackle first.
