Happy Last Day of 2011

The last day of the year.  The very last one.  One whole year has come and gone just like that. As with most people, the year here at Yesteryear Acres was filled with big momentous occasions as well as small peaceful moments.  The big and the small.  It is easy to remember the big occasions such as graduations, births, wedding, funerals, natural disasters, vacations.  Those occasions seem to be the things that easily come to mind when reminiscing. They are important but encompass a very small part of any year. As meaningful as those type of occasions are, my favorite memories of 2011 are all the small fillers that lie in between the big moments.  The endless laughter at the dinner table.  The tranquil moments at our pond. Times spent enjoying the company of my children. Peaceful walks in the woods. Lunch breaks with Mr. Yesteryear Acres. Fun playing with the puppies. Cooking delicious meals in the kitchen. Simply put - my favorite thing of this year and every year is ....love. As I look back on 2011, I look back with a permanent smile full of loving memories. I am blessed to have another year filled with love and happiness. To love and to be loved - that is the greatest gift in life and I have been blessed many times over.  Happy last day of 2011. I hope your year was filled with cherished memories of love, happiness and laughter......and here's to many more!
