Changes and Thank you

What have you changed in the past year?
Or, what changes have you experienced in the past few months?
Have you completely redone a room in your home?  Like the kitchen, or bathroom?
Did you get new furniture, or new slipcovers?
How about different light fixtures?

Have you completely gone through your home, and changed your style? Gone from Primitives to Shabby Chic? (that took me over a year to do. It kind of evolved over two years). 

Have you had a major change in a relationship in the past year?
Maybe a health issue....I can relate to that.


How about your job situation? 
We all experience change...some good, some not so much.  It can be a positive experience, but sometimes it leaves us feeling sad, and depressed.  When we feel a loss, it can be overwhelming.
It's nice that when bloggers share their feelings of sadness, others gather around and offer support.
What's also nice...when bloggers share the positive changes in their lives, others are also there to share positive reinforcement, encouragement, and blessings.
I am grateful that when I experience change of any kind, whether good, or bad....you guys are always here to bless me with a kind word.
I just felt like saying thank you today.

  2. Beautifully said, Debbie! You know that I have had a lot of changes over the past year...some good...some not so good. There are times when it seems we sail through life and are doing great and then that can change in the blink of an eye. Some changes are good and easy to accept-a redone room, finding a special "piece" that you have looked for forever. Other changes are NOT so good- health issues, seeing changes in others that we did not anticipate, making big life-altering changes.

    This is a great, thought-provoking post today, Debbie. Love to you- xo Diana

  8. Hi Debbie,
    Your post has touched my heart. You are so sweet and kind and heaven knows that you have had some changes in your life lately. Makes me think of all the things that I have to be thankful for. One of those things is the wonderful friendships made here in our world of blogging. I always smile to myself when someone asks, "what is a blog?" Only we bloggers know what it really is.

    hugs

  9. Well, you're welcome, Debbie. You're a lovely person who speaks from the heart and we all love you. Yep, I've been through a lot of changes this year...decorating, renovating two bathrooms, and getting my hubby's plumbing fixed. Yes, that's what I said. :) It's all good.

  12. Yes, I've had some major changes this year. And I'm still experiencing depression and problems from it. But maybe once things finally start to settle down, so will I. Isn't it wonderful how Blog Land gathers the wagons round?

  16. So sweet! Yes, big changes, God blessed me with my first grandson who looks just like his daddy as a baby so it's nice to hold him and think back to those days in the 70's! My white kitchen is the best thing this year to happen as far as decorating goes and so far everyone is in good health.
    I love blogging and there isn't a day that goes by that I appreciate my blogging friends!
    Having a beautiful sunny day here in Pa. hope you are too!

  21. Hi Debbie....love this post and your last. Both very inspiring and so true. Change is never easy, but I think somehow we always learn from it. There is always hope in change even if sometimes you have to look hard to find it.
    Thanks for being there for me, too!
    hugs,
