ive been away....

and i apologize.

truly.

but while ive been gone, ive done a lot.
been quite busy.

i know... ive missed two "mulititude mondays" so ill be making up for that in the following.
instead of a paragraph form "catch up" on life... im simply going to post from my journal.
pictures & thankful journal entries.

so my apologies for disappearing for a week...
ill try not to do that again.
hope this december day finds you all well.
much love & peace
