I Need a Magic Fairy NOW!

Seriously, a magic fairy is what I need.  2009 and 2010 were very trying and filled with sorrow. Financial struggles, marriage strife, Illness that took me down for a year, my Dad passed away, my youngest moved to Texas, weight gain and... let's see, I think that about covers it and if there is more I don't want to know.  I decided that I was not going to have another year like those two, 2011 is going
to be awesome!  Now all I need is that magic fairy to point me in the right direction!
I have already taken steps to change a lot of thing in my life, being grateful for every little thing I have to
start with.  Not letting this illness control my life.  I am feeling much happier and optimistic.  Life really is good!

Happy New Year 2011

My miniature Nativity scene.

My Grandson rearranged it so that...

it looks like everyone is being lead by an Angel.

I found my nativity scene set up like this after

 Grandson went home from spending his Christmas break here with me.

I love how little children imagine.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Best for wishes for a wonderful 2011.
