I'm 50 years old and blessed to have had every year! I've been married to a great guy for 27 years and have three young adult children. I live on a farm that has been in my family for 5 generations, in a house that has sheltered 4 generations. We practice an ecologically sound lifestyle as has been lived here before us. I was raised here, on the homeplace, by my great aunts and uncles, who taught me much and held in high esteem the satisfaction of a good days work, wise choices and the love and care of all who fell within the circle of their concern.
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Num 6:24-26
Happy New Year! Wishing you good health, happiness and prosperity in 2009!
In keeping with southern tradition, our New Year's festive meal consisted of collard greens, black eyed peas, rice and tomatoes and cornbread. The story goes that eating this meal will bring you health, happiness and prosperity for the coming year.
