I feel so blessed......after moving across the country 2200 miles away from everyone that I knew to a whole new place where I knew absolutely NO ONE, I have now settled in & have my church family, my horse riding family, & wonderful neighbors.

Taking time to focus on the real reason for Christmas has always been the most important aspect of Christmas day for me in a very quiet & personal way & I have always felt that Christmas was more of a family sort of day, giving my baked goods to friends before Christmas so they can enjoy.

This year however, a neighbor that just moved here with her husband, 2 girls, & 13 horses, has invited me to dinner & a relaxing afternoon to visit......& my other friend invited me to have Christmas eve dinner with her & am planning on going to the midnight service at the church she used to go to.

Not sure if I will have the time to sign on here or not......wishing everyone a very blessed Christmas full of God's love & peace.
