2007 in the Rear View

  Many in J-land have been listing the first line of the first entry of each month of 2007 in thier journals.  I've indulged and am putting my own spin on it.  I have selected my personal favorite entry from each month and quoted the first line from it.  All are linkable.  If you are new to Caneyhead or missed one, it'd mean a lot to me if you read these if you haven't.  As they are the ones most precious to me.

JANUARY 

 

I'm finding spiritual truth in jokes.

 

"I admit I'm a little unusual to say the least."

 

FEBRUARY

 

I offer my advice to singles.

 

"If love is a battlefield, dating has many causalities."

 

MARCH

 

I tell the story of Pete & my's elopement.

 

"Twenty three years ago a slim, blonde young man of 21 was frantically shopping in Bealls Dept. store for a new pair of slacks and dress shirt."

 

APRIL

 

I'm sharing two true stories about animals at our house, one with a happy ending and the other one a sad one.

 

"Yesterday was quite some day."

My only entry in May, I'm bragging about my marvelous son and his invention.

 

"Yes, sir-ee!!  Bubba and his friends, Brandon and Logan, won state for their classification in Waco!!!"

I share our bread and butter pickle recipe and describe a perfect social evening in Caneyhead.

My first and only attempt thus far at the Artsy Essay.

 

"For this month's artsy essay, Judith challenges us to write about our favorite and most inspiring possession."

 

AUGST

 

I'm sharing a sermon I got from a trip to the grocery store.

 

"Well, so this morning I had been drinking coffee and checking emails while I waited until time to get dressed for church."

 

SEPTEMBER

 

I'm pondering the fact they say the southern accent is spreading.

 

"I found this rather amusing today on AOL."

 

OCTOBER

 

Thoughts on miracles, healing and wholeness.

 

"So much in the world today telling us what will make us happy and content."

 

NOVEMBER

 

My tribute to the veterans in my life and yours.

 

"The skeptics and the cynics were questioning the sacrifice made in the war."

 

DECEMBER

 

My post in remembrance of my sister.

 

"It has taken a long time for me to get around to writing about my sister Sarah here."
