3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
4. What were some of you favorites or 2012? (Shows, music, clothes, books)
I thought it would be fun to read your answers to those questions and one of mine.
Here are my answers:
- I am thankful for my husband, my son, my birth family and the family I gained through marriage. I am also thankful for my church, my friends, and that I have God to learn on.
- Visiting my sisters and my mom on our road trip to New York state, a trip to the beach with my guys, and the Smith Family reunion here in South Carolina top the highlights of my year.
- Tomorrow I am going to share more about my hopes and resolutions. Let say that this year is going to be based on building strength.
- This year I decided to not wear the same mom uniform everyday. The ten year old jeans with aging sweatshirts and sneakers still is around. I am in fact wearing it today. I have tried to update my look with more trendy jeans and some new sweaters. My mom and sister Kate helped aid in the change by giving me some new things for my birthday after I scoured the internet to find things that would make me look less frumpy.
My hair lost over three inches in length this year and the barrette that lived on the back left hand side of my head for fifteen years has mostly been retired. From what I have seen online several others have cut their hair shorter too. - God spent most of this year reminding me to lean on him. When I couldn't wrap my brain around an event or problem, he was there to remind me to pray and learn on his words in the Bible.
What about your answers?
I am definitely most thankful for my husband and kids. We just had our 4th baby and he came after a later term loss so having him here in our arms is just beyond description!
ReplyDeleteI am most thankful for my Mom's continuing health and her ability to keep going on her own--and I mean keep going!!
ReplyDeleteMy strongest memory is having my cat Gremlin go over the rainbow--then adopting Baby--
I am hoping for a job(s) that are closer to home
My favorite book is Mr. Breeze--the most feel good book I have ever read!
As for G-d--I am very spiritual-but truly believe that G-d helps those that help themselves.
1. My family, my health, my happiness.
ReplyDelete2. Loved our family vacations most of all! The beach trip in May before I started a new job. Thanksgiving in TN with 40+ members of my husband's extended family. Cabo San Lucas in December for my little sister's wedding.
3. Health and happiness for family and friends.
4. Loved seeing Pus in Boots in 3D with Lily as her first movie trip. Loved reading The Hunger Games.

ReplyDeleteSorry, but I didn't do it properly the first time around!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you most thankful for?
That my darling husband, after 23 years of increasing pain, was released from that daily burden on May 26 2012
2. What were the highlights or memories that stand out to you of 2012?
The fact that I was able to help my daughters cope with the loss of their father, as well as their individual traumas - one broke her leg 3 weeks after her Dad left us: the other lost her job the same day! Both have coped magnificently, and Jan 2, 2013 is the begining of their new lives!
3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
Success for the girls, and even more success (without going mad) for my Etsy business - www.coldhamcuddlies.etsy.com
4. What were some of you favorites or 2012? (Shows, music, clothes, books)
Haven't really had the time to appreciate any of these - but, I've enjoyed watching our Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, and the Olympic and ParaOlympic Games in toto. What a magnificent show(s) they all were1
And my favorite question...
5. Who was God to you in 2012? (She encourage her readers to be truth about if he was anything) Finally realising that I am never alone - despite my loss, after nearly 43 years of marriage, of darling Peter!
1. What are you most thankful for?
ReplyDeleteLiving in the USA and having excellent health care services for my children. I heart USA :-)
2.What were the highlights or memories that stand out to you of 2012?
That my son did awesome in class AND is now completely bilingual. Also, that my mom is cancer free and that her kidney insufficiency is not degrading.
3. 3. What are you hoping for in 2013?
I hope that my daughter (who has been seizures free for over a year) will not develop another form of Epilepsy and that my son will learn to relax a little bit and more and experiment things without anxiety.
4. What were some of you favorites or 2012? (Shows, music, clothes, books)
I loved watching Game of thrones and The impractical jokers. :-) They're so funny!
5. Who was God to you in 2012?
n\A
Happy New Year!
Great questionnaire.
ReplyDelete1. I am thankful for my family and especially for my awesome husband who supports me in so many ways.
2. Memories - seeing sun rise over Negev desert in Israel, cruise to the Carribeans, Exploratorium in San Francisco, Legoland.
3. Hoping that my Hep C treatment will work and I will achieve total cure status by the end of 2013
4. I am not much into pop culture, but looking forward to reading Cloud Atlas that I got for Christmas and then renting a movie.
5. Not religious :)
1. I am most thankful that I have God in my life, and then for my family.
ReplyDelete2. My most unforgettable memory, and my least favorite, was my oldest daughter moving out, not just to another city nearby, but all the way across the continent to be near her fiance. BTW: They are not living together.
3. My hope for this new year is that my husband work becomes better.
4. My best highlights of the year - just going out with the hubby to see a movie.
5. Without my Lord near me, life would seem hopeless. My faith keeps me going, and is the basis for the happiness in my life. God has been disengaged out of our society, and I believe this is the reason so many tragedies have befallen recently.
What a great post...so lucky to be included in your family!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! I like the idea of revisiting the year and focusing on all the good parts of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat questions! I'm going to make a post on my blog tomorrow to answer these - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm always most grateful for my family.
ReplyDeleteAnd the year whizzed by so quickly it's almost hard to pull out any "main events."
But God sure played a part in it all.
=)
This was a wonderful posting...

~ Favorite movie: Wreck It Ralph; Favorite show: The Voice
5. Who was God to you in 2012?
~ God has been my family's provider every step of the way through 2012. We have been through the wringer financially this past year and He has provided for us in every circumstance. God is my peace when there is no reason for peace...that is PRICELESS!
