Christmas is right around the corner and I have nothing done. No newsletter, no gifts, no nothing. The newsletter is being replaced by my blog this year. Hopefully I'll have it done by the time my Christmas postcards make it to your door!

In my busy daily routine, I've found that thanking God daily for my blessings helps me put things in perspective - too many little things get to me and stress me out. Meanwhile, I have the most amazing family and friends and we have our health, a warm comfortable home and plenty of food. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

So today I thank God for Rob - for his zany sense of humour that sometimes drives me nuts and that he's passed on to Mitchell, for his faithful love that brought us back together and keeps our family grounded and lastly for his giving heart that thinks of others in need before himself (I know - it surprises me too - hee hee). Oh, and for his ability to always be the brunt of everyone's jokes - funny how in every situation, with every group of friends, Rob is always at the centre of ridicule - but he's OK with it.
