Eight Years of Stories from My Heart - #480!

 Good morning out there! 

Today is a special milestone for me - my blog's 8th anniversary!

 Where does the time go? It's hard to believe that I've been writing posts/stories for eight years. This story is #480! Some years I've blogged more often than other years. I looked back through the months and years - stories of hope, posts with helpful information, funny/crazy stories, family stories, and the stories that came with tears. Words from my heart - thank you for reading my stories - thank you for encouraging me - thank you for reminding me when I haven't written in a while. I'm eight years older and I think wiser as well. My faith has grown much stronger - my stories tell the tale. We were blessed with two more granddaughters at the beginning of my second year of blogging. Ten grandchildren - eight girls and two boys. We have been blessed again, a grandson will be born in late summer - #11! Jim has one name for him and his parents have another name in mind! He will be and is already loved and with all of his older siblings and cousins, I doubt his feet will touch the floor - a late walker! For those of you who've read my blog since the beginning, you know all about our family - the trials and the triumphs - through it all, God has been with us. So here's to a new year of stories! but first, I will post some links below to a few of my favorites! You can even start at the beginning of my blog if you want to - March 22, 2014 - I never dreamed I'd have so many stories to share!

Peace and blessings to you and yours, wherever you are, near and far!

Bye for now, Sharla
