Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to wish everyone a great "New Year". I have missed all of
you very much and until recently was unable to use my computer. Things are
better now and I am moving around more so maybe the Lord has seen fit to give me
somemore time here on Mother Earth.

I want to jump back into geneology and help anyway I can. My illness had got
me to the point were I spent most of my day's just sitting in my chair, and
feeling sorry for myself and my situation's.

My new years resolution is to turn that around. I've always thought that
after you turn 50 you start to enter into a new and second phase of living. We
start to become the elders of our generation.
I have learned in this last year that NOW is when I need to be my strongest.
Not only for myself, but for my family, friends who need me, a grandaughter
that has not yet said, "HELLO GRANDMA".

So as I close this post, I would like to let any and all elders out there to
remember this.
I know the holidays can be a joy to most, but to those out there that suffer
from lonliness and depression or the lost of a loved one, we have but two
choices in my opinon.
We can enjoy the life we have left, or become the ancester that these list
seek to find.

As Always,
BrightStar

PS, I thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Brent Kennedy and his family.
