I wish I had something profound and wise to say to welcome in the New Year but I don’t. I’d like to blame it on the cold I am nursing and cursing (almost) but I plumb ran out of profound and wise some time ago. Okay, honestly? I’ve never ever had either. 
Personally, 2017 has been a good year. My daughter dealt with a cancerous tumor behind her eye and the radiation killed it dead. Great news. I enjoyed a holiday in Hawaii with 3 of my daughters then a week at a nearby lake where I rented a cabin and enjoyed the time with 2 daughters, a son-in-law and 5 granddaughters. We had a number of family gatherings here. The year wrapped up with 25 here for Christmas. I put out 12 ebooks, and 4 books with Love Inspired Historicals. It’s been a busy year.
I look forward to 2018–more writing, more books out. A trip to Paris with daughter and granddaughter. Another week at the lake. And everything else that comes my way. Some things are unwelcome but everything is filtered through the loving hands of God and in Him I trust.
Enjoy this little glimpse of the past year. All the best to each of you in 2018.
