It is with gratitude that I thank the Heavenly Father for all the blessings of 2010.

My GGD was born on April 17th and she is such a joy! Because I watch her during the week, we have become very close and how I treasure that time we have together.

I was diagnosed with many neuropathic conditions, ending with spinal stenosis. But I have learned to live with it and take my many meds to overcome the pain.

My family all have steady jobs, and that in itself these day is a special blessing. My folks are also good, hard working people.

And then, recently, my DB had triple bypass surgery and within 5 days was home!!! Seems a miracle, although many have had this done, the timeline seems unbelievable. My prayer is that he will continue with the help of his dear family to get better and better.

I know the blessing of Spaarkpeople has meant so much to me and I continue to get back to my goal. I got really sloppy and gained some weight back, but I am determined to lose it, hopefully by the end of this year. I live alone and don't have anyone to monitor me, but the Lord knows my weakness and will give me a helping hand.

Count your blessings and be glad we have a Savior to keep us humble. These are just a few of the blessings I give thanks for. There are so many not yet put on paper. Love from, to and for others is one of the richest we have.
