With each new year comes new opportunities, challenges and memories to make. I know that 2026 will have all of those rolling in with it.
To reflect on 2025…Ron and I started the year with a southern Caribbean cruise and we finished the year with a Bahamas Christmas cruise with Sarah.
We went to Stephen and Kylie’s in April and enjoyed three weeks there. Sarah even received an award from the school for working so hard while away during a cyber attack on the school.
Sarah started Grade 11 in September and shortly after I took on a temporary job as the church secretary…wondering when the temporary ends…
Ron and I spent our New Year’s Eve in the most quiet of ways. We did have plans but they changed once I had a visit to my doctor’s office. For the past month, I have been struggling with a cold. The last few days it turned into a cough which kept me from sleeping. I then noticed the wheezing, whistling and cracking in my lungs.. I knew that things weren’t right. So yesterday morning, I called my doctor’s office at 8:30 a.m. and I received the final miracle of 2025 when they told me that I could see a doc at 9:30! After checking my oxygen, blood pressure and listening to my lungs I was diagnosed with what I suspected….double pneumonia.
Ron was off to Napanee to get my meds and meals for us to eat. I told our Clark chat room and Sarah said this…
Stephen asked me how I was feeling and I told him that I had taken a double dose of the meds as prescribed and had a little nap. His response was very insightful…
We know that 2026 has its challenges ahead but we will work to make memories and let the good times exceed the hard ones. Goodbye 2025…hello 2026!
