I will look unto the hills from whence come my help!
and my hope and strength!
This time of year tends to cause me to reflect on what I have accomplished, where I have been, what I want to do in the coming year…
I was filing emails this evening. WOW! The first 8 months of 2014 were just plain difficult for me personally! Ouch ! As I looked at a few emails to see where they needed filing. Know what ? Life is just to short and too important… to live and work with mean spirited people and stay in turmoil…One does not have to live that way!
I want to apologize to my friends for neglecting them during this time… I lost my focus… got caught up in my co dependency (Thank you MJ for your help in my understanding this about myself) Who knew how far co dependency could extend?! It is just in me to fix things! I should have been a mechanic! Machinery would have been easy !
I want to thank Les for helping me through this time as well as my good close personal friends…I could not have made it with out your support and help!
I have been catching up on my real love and real work! and my real friends! (slowly but surely)
I have a lot I want to do in 2015!
Laugh often! Love much! Be a good friend! Help everyone that I can! I want to raise sheep, work my dogs, and go TRIALING!!!
I want to ride my horse and enjoy camping with Les! Garden! Can our food! Visit with neighbors and friends. Maybe even take in a few herding clinics!
Drover, BOO, Timber, Abilene, will be trialing! And Camping along with the rest of the Maple Grove Farm Crew! Plus we have a new puppy to start going places with! An (Abilene /Drover tri colored girl!)
We have planed another BOOSTER.com Tshirt/ sweat campaign for Laree Shulman!
The Larry Painter Sheep Camp will be held February 18 thru the 22, 2015 at Maple Grove Farm (we have 3 spots open still) …Then May 15th a Linda Rorem 1 day Herding Large Flock Clinic and on the 16th and 17th Linda will be here judging a 2 day trial (other judge(s) to be announced soon! Working on them! October 9, 10 , 11 the NC ES Gathering will again be a 3 day Event make your plans to attend!
I do have some exciting things I am starting to work on! I will be sharing more about them soon! In fact a surprise will be on its way next week to many of you !
I am a optimist all ways! Can’t live any other way!
My good friend Laree Shulman (who is waiting on a heart transplant) has said in many places during this Christmas Season…You do not know how sweet life is until you realize you might not be here! AMEN!
Laree’s miss fortune of getting sick through no fault of hers…has touched me like nothing else has in my life. (except my Daddy passing at 53 with the cancer in 1990) I want to say here and now how much I appreciate your support in our campaign to raise money and support for Laree during her sickness! You ALL have been supportive with prayers, cards, emails, your purchases of T shirts, sweat shirts, NC ES Gathering Calendars We still have a few to sell , Donations, on line auction and the Live NC ES Gathering Auction, raffle and herding clinic.
I hope you all will join with me in praying for a full recovery to good health for Laree in 2015!!!! and for her family during what has to be a hard time for them!
As I said …I lost my focus in the beginning of 2014 ! I made that mistake…but not again!
I wish the best for All of You ! Health, Happiness, Good Friends and Family, Love, Laughter, Success, Peace, Kindness, and a understanding of what is really important in your life!
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! To Everyone!
