Today I have been blogging for a total of 1 whole year, 365 days! Ok I missed some of them but can't let this blogenday pass!

What a year it was, it started with me having to arttend two funerals in a week, one a close friend, the other the brother of a friend. I made contact, through a medium, with my brother who died when I was 11 years old. I managed to get a diagnosis for my mysterious illness and return to work, only to resign from my position.

I lost a dear Aunt and gained a surprise grandaughter, born on my lounge floor. I, and my family waved my brother of to New Zealand to start a new life and are currently dealing with my dad's battle against cancer. My youngest child started comp, while my eldest made me prouder than ever by coping with her two children, who are 1 year apart.

I also began to develop my spiritual self and am now making headway along the path of self discovery, and becoming more intune with spirit day by day.

Most of all, I found new friends, now as you all will have, I have "life" friends who question how I can have "online" friends, and I'm proud to say I have. These friends don't judge, offer support, advice and share a common bond! So far I have yet to meet these friends but as I enter my second year I will!

Been a good year my friends......****Teri raises a glass!  cheers

THE TRAVELER

James Dillet Freemen

She has put on invisibility,
Dear Lord, I cannot see----
But this I know, although the road ascends
And passes from my sight,
That there will be no night;

That You will take her gently by the hand
And lead her on
Along the road of life that never ends,
And she will find it is not death but dawn.
I do not doubt that You are there as here,
And You will hold her dear.

Our life did not begin with birth,
It is not of the earth;
And this that we call death, it is no more
Than the opening and closing of a door----
And in your house how many rooms must be
Beyond this one where we rest momently.

Dear Lord, I thank You for the faith that frees,
The love that knows it cannot lose its own;
The love that, looking through the shadows, sees
That You and she and I are ever one!
