Well, I'm grateful to have made it to my 50th birthday - woohoo! After surviving being hit by a car last week, some skin cancer here and there over the past few years, and helping to raise some fine children I am looking forward to the coming year. I know there will be some hard stuff in the coming weeks and months - my father has lung cancer and is going through chemotherapy and will have radiation treatments in the future, my mother is getting up there in age, and my mother-in-law is becoming more and more forgetful, but I am thankful for the chance to give back to them in their time of need. The future is still bright and I look forward to serving God in the ways He wants me to!
