I am glad to have discovered your blog as I enjoy my visits here.<br />Some years the losses seem greater than others and I am sorry to hear that 2018 was like that for you. May 2019 be better in that regard.<br />How wonderful that you found your long lost ring and, I might add, it is beautiful.<br />I look forward to seeing your new outdoor updates.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-91421537261102096412019-01-01T18:29:57.722-08:002019-01-01T18:29:57.722-08:00I wrote on Instagram that it's been "a ye...I wrote on Instagram that it's been "a year...and aren't they all?"

And I know how Zippo's death must have hurt. It never gets any easier no matter their age, does it? Your dinner last night sounds lovely. We stayed in too and had good soup on the last night of the year. <br /><br />It doesn't surprise me that you've enjoyed learning new things, Melanie. I think you always will be a learner! I hope I will be too. And I hope this year will be filled with blessings and lovely times for you, dear friend.

I almost lost my 16 year old son more than once to addiction. Both my children and husband struggle with mental health issues. Although it was a truly horrible year, I saw the hand of God move in so many ways. My faith in Christ has been strengthened. I look at addicts and the homeless from a different lens now. I see the human now rather than their situation. If the only change in me was that one thing then 2018 was not a wasted year. <br />Happy New Year to you and your family.

We have two other cats but you can't replace any cat or any person. God does not make duplicates. Thank you for being so kind in sharing your "Comfy House".

I don't mean that in a bad or begrudging way, just that life is always busy and when it's not, we're in recovery mode. I can't say that I'd prefer it to be any other way, though. The days may be long, but the years are short.<br />I hope this new year is a sweet one for you and your family with much peace and more of the good than the bad. ♥Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396880852810370044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-86606458872472252772019-01-01T07:41:11.944-08:002019-01-01T07:41:11.944-08:00Wow, I can't believe you found your ring after...Wow, I can't believe you found your ring after a year of searching - that's fantastic and must be a sign of good things to come for you in 2019, Melanie!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-29391039288059904942019-01-01T07:34:26.777-08:002019-01-01T07:34:26.777-08:00I am so glad you are blogging.

My husband was asleep last night by 9 p.m. and I was in bed at 9:50 p.m. I'd much rather get up early than stay up late because I need light and sunshine in my life. :) Wishing you and yours much peace, joy and love in the new year!Tammy@T's Daily Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474928708908027789noreply@blogger.com
