Another new beginning


There are 3 or 4 times throughout the year, at least, that standout for me as 'new beginnings.' Of course, every day is a new beginning and should be lived as if it were the last.


Advent is upon us.


We just celebrated Thanksgiving, which is always a wonderful day full of family, fun and food. A time to close out the previous year to some extent, be thankful for what God gave us thus far, and pray that the year ahead is filled with so many more of God's blessings.


It did not disappoint. The entire family gathered to rejoice and thank God for each other and his daily miracles.


Colleen brought the dogs, which was reason to exult in itself!

Sunday the Browns WON! Another reason for jubilance! And to boot, my friends and I wound up at Crop for a delicious dinner where Pork Chop Womack was serving up his signature Pork Chops. There were a whole slew of Cleveland Browns on hand to support their fellow player and his endeavor! He also made the delicious peach cobbler.


The 1st day of Advent felt like a bevy of new beginnings on so many levels as we wrap up another year and prepare for, hopefully, a magical future in the coming days.


I personally need a goose every once in a while to get back on track...to pick up the pieces....to motivate an oftentimes numb existence and shock me back to life.


Well, I am thankful that this time of year has arrived and am hopeful that I can learn from previous mistakes made catapulting into the Advent season....which leads me in leaps and bounds to a heavenly new year!


May all of you find yourself immersed in a peace-filled Advent Season only to find the true meaning of Christmas and hopefully carry it with you all year long.
