The End of Year

And so we come to the end of another year. An eventful year, as they all are.

family except Gerry, but he was in touch and we will see him soon.

At Christmas, we saw all the family, and that is the best gift of all. We got to two Midnight Masses, a treat indeed.

I have an hours flying lesson awaiting me from my wife.

This year was full of change or me. My first visit to America, first visit to the American TFP Conference, first visit to Gettysburg, and the in USA at the time of the earliest snow fall, all 10 inches of it.

I have been out teaching since November, to my utter surprise. I am enjoying working with children again, and of course the money is an unexpected but welcome bonus.

And I will be back in school in January.

Tomorrow we will be at a Catholic family event in Edinburgh in the afternoon, then home in the evening. I am trying to find a midnight mass on Hogmanay.

Soon it will be 2012. No doubt there will be remarkable events and happenings in the year to come.

John will be off to Boston in early January for a workshop. He has commissions to write music and words for 5 plays so far. Not much acting looming up though.

I will be off to Kansas in April for another TFP Conference.

I pray that God will bless me and my family, and keep is safe another year. O pray that God will grant a period of peace to the World. Imagine a world without War.

It will come, because it is God's Will, and Mary said her Immaculate Heart would triumph and that Peace would come to the World. Will it be this year?

A Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous Year to all Men of Goodwill.
