Christmas was over and the countdown began again for Christmas...I became really sad and discouraged. I hadn't come close to the goals I wanted to achieve this past holiday and it all looked insurmountable.

Time to countdown to something else! Here in snowy, cold Minnesota the winter starts to get long in Feburary so Spring is a very welcome sight. The bonus is that my birthday is the first day of spring! So I've been sneaky and reminded the world when my b-day is.

I also have a prayer request. My mom is currently going through testing to see if she has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. We were in the doctor's office and even with a prompt she couldn't remember my birthday, my sister's birthday and my sister's name. Please pray God's will in this situation and for peace for my family. If this does come to fruition I will be bearing the brunt of the support and work (we live 50-60 minutes away). Pray especially for my mom; this is overwhelming her.

Blessings from the snowy little farm,

Jenny
