Last Blog for 2008

This will be the last blog for this year. So much has happened in the past year. Our lives have done a series of flip flops in the last 4 months. Finally we have lodged our paperwork for residency in New Zealand. The papers were delivered to the Hamilton branch of Immigration New Zealand on the 12th December 2008 and I was admitted to hospital on the 17th for breast cancer surgery. I am still waiting for the results from the laboratory so I am unsure as to what our plan of attack will be for the New Year. I have begun the 2nd stage of recovery and exercise to regain the use of my arm. Today I managed to hang out my wash on the washline. Great achievement!
Well Happy New Year to everyone for 2009! Good riddance to all the bad things of 2008. My annus horribilus? no we have had worse years, just coz this one ended on an off-key tone doesn,t mean we will just write off the whole year. Some good has come from it! We are in a wonderful space right now, loving the way of life and our two precious granddaughters Jennifer and Rebecca who are the light in my life right now.
Yes I have a challenging year ahead and I know it will be just that - a fearsome challenge. I have God in my corner fighting my battle for me and giving me the strength I need to live in this new year! Le Chaim! I say, "To life!"
