I sure got active fast, and have had great fun getting to know people from all over. It started out gardening related, but I also like looking at the critters, skies and whatever people choose to take pics of. I check my stat counter pretty much every day, and see how many people from other countries have visited.<BR/><BR/>I don't make new year resolutions or give things up for lent. I think it's because I want to love God every day, and walk in faith as life unfolds. I think it has to do with living for the day. I don't do it perfectly consistently, but am thankful for forgiveness.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember if I knew you had fibromyalgia. I never heard of it until about 10 years ago, but now, I know of a number of people who have to deal with it. I'm glad you've found something that helps.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!<BR/><BR/>SueCorner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-21689002783824943192009-01-01T21:27:00.000-06:002009-01-01T21:27:00.000-06:00Dear Beckie,I'm so happy that our little blogging ...Dear Beckie,<BR/>I'm so happy that our little blogging exchanges when I first started blogging, back in November, 2007--ended up here--where I am getting to know you better and able to share my gardening and life with you and other blotanical bloggers! Your blog, and Robin's, are pretty much why I ended up joining blotanical in the first place! I wouldn't have even known it existed had I not found your blogs--by some coincidence or chance--way back then :-)<BR/><BR/>And the Lyrica: OMG!!! It is the ONLY med that helps my pain. I thought I was unable to take it for a while, because of a rash, and losing my hair...but, I am taking it again and the pain is so tolerable that I HAVE A LIFE when I take it. How can a little rash and a few hairs keep me from taking it? They can't!! I am so glad it is working for you, too, Beckie:-)<BR/>I wish you a wonderful year ahead in 2009!!<BR/>JanJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-46082810016761641612008-12-31T00:57:00.000-06:002008-12-31T00:57:00.000-06:00Mary, it has been my pleasure to find your blog.

That's a God send.<BR/>I have been blogging a long time and it has been a fun way to meet new friends. I don't get out much and when I do it is to visit my family or shop, so blogging has given me some new and cherished friends.<BR/><BR/>I don't make new year resolutions. I used to but never stuck with them. Now I simply ask the Lord to help me to be more pleasing to Him.<BR/>Have a wonderful new year.Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484592294033354129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038906502036348765.post-39601237859799505032008-12-30T01:56:00.000-06:002008-12-30T01:56:00.000-06:00Wendy, my wish for you for the New Year is strengt...Wendy, my wish for you for the New Year is strength and peace.
