Counting My Blessings

I guess I didn't visit the site as much as I would have liked recently since life has bee getting in the way. I had to face up to new challenges but as tough as they are they are nothing compared to some I read recently here.
I should count my blessings. So I picked up on the Christmas story I started and hope to get back into the swing of things. So many people here support and encouragement and even a nice thought or a wish or just a touch of kindness.
