Memories of 2006 ღ KKD ღ

Memories of 2006   Today, the last day of 2006 I sit here enjoying my Christmas Tree For tomorrow I pack it away for another year When memories begin to pass before me. This past year has been a bit of a roller coaster ride With my house being broken into with me in bed asleep and then I lost my precious little buddy Rusty but on my birthday this year I was given a most precious gift of Garp I lost two men I so respected and Loved Dale and Frank but they live on thru all they left behind and the footprints they left upon so many hearts I had a horrid scare of possibly losing my youngest daughter but thru the power of prayer from my awesome friends God laid his healing hands upon her and I spent another wonderful Christmas with her and her family My heart has taken a battering this year but it saved me from a couple of huge mistakes and now 2007 offers a promise of new beginnings I finally got out of Melbourne which took its toll on me with the horrid stress and then what seemed a never ending four and a half hours of driving to work each day until I could get relocated here to my little piece of heaven on earth... I have learned that we are not given a task in life that God does not carry us thru I had a wake up call with my own health but thru prayers and the love of family and friends Im come'n back to the old me... Not sure if that is a good thingy or not One of the two total high points of my year of wich the frist came in November when I finally got to meet the dearest friend any woman could ever have I saved my pennies and got a plane ticket to Nevada. We laughed... we cried and I found such a precious second family in Sparks... Lesa, Hersh, Kim and my precious Little Buddy, Joseph And much to my amazement Hersh did not ask me to leave, but then I did try to behave LOL Oh the see ya later was so hard but then they always are when you leave a piece of your heart behind... The second came in December of which I pray will yield a masterpiece of my heart on paper in 2007 that I will as always be able to share with you my precious friends I carried many old friends with me into this past year and met so many new ones that are all so preciously held close with in my heart and with God's will I pray we will journey 2007 together... I have many dreams and prayers for 2007 Funny how when it comes to the end of yet another year when as we walked thru 2006 we wondered how we would ever survive and yet here we are and in looking back we all must realize that a positive always follows a negative I pray for our Troops to return home with mission accomplished in 2007 I pray for the all the families that have lost a member of their family that so proudly served this awesome country we live in... I pray for all the families that lost a loved one in the Twin Towers on September 11th and that thru our Precious Savior healing will continue I pray for this Country to please become United again... For Americans to stand together instead of divided. And for us all to realize that Church and State can not be divided They are one.... We are One Nation Under God... May each of you allow God's blessings into your life and ask yourself with out them what have you really got. I wish you a Happy New Year I wish you health and love I wish you in return the same magnitude of awesome memories that you give to me each and every day Please don't drink and drive My children and grandchildren travel the same roads as you Hugs and God Bless Donna Original by Donna DeLong Matthews January 2007 View All My Poems     © 2008 Donna DeLong Matthews (All rights reserved) Nancy sinatra Memories
