It's Monday morning and already half way through January which I still can't quite get my head around.
Life is busy but good busy if you know what I mean. I had an unusually stress free slow paced Christmas which was a very welcome change. My brother came to stay and it was just the two of us for Christmas day. We broke with tradition and decided to spread our present opening out over the day. We're both fairly early risers so started with a cuppa around 6.30am and opened a couple each, finally opened our last present about 11.00pm. My daughter and son-in-law got the opportunity to go to friends for Christmas which was such a nice change for them, then they hosted a family day on News Years eve with turkey and all the trimmings so Christmas was a lovely long holiday for me spent with lots of my wonderful family.
And here we are as I said already half way through the first month of 2013.
Now because I am so conscious I didn't get to blog as often as I wanted to in 2012 I'm determined to do better this year. So I've taken advantage again of my iPad to write this morning before I really get stuck into the business of the day. The more eagle eyed of you may have noticed however my last post did not contain any photos. Well - neither does this. It won't surprise you to hear that's because I haven't figured out yet how to download photos from my phone to my iPad! Unfortunately I don't have an iPhone otherwise I know it would sync automatically ( I am working on getting one.....) and I know everyone says the iPad is so easy to use - intuitive is the word my Apple guru calls it that I should be able to work it out quite easily but no. The sentence 'you can download your photos via iTunes' hasn't been overly helpful in my case. ...........
I have however just found out how to highlight this text and change the colour so whoo hoo - something else new I've learnt!
As I said this year has got off to a busy start. I've been spending a lot of time catching up with data inputting for the church finances and thank the Lord feel as if I've broken the back of it. A wonderful lady called Louise has also come to my rescue and offered her time and expertise to take on some of the work. A real answer to prayer.
Work is progressing on setting up 'more time 4 life' ministries and the launch of the website which hopefully will be towards the end of this month. Fortunately that isn't down to my expertise otherwise we could all be waiting years rather than weeks for it to happen!
The diary is starting to get more appointments in for me to promote the Anne House exhibitions but we want many more enquiries. If you're involved in any organisation or group who you think might be interested in hosting an exhibition of Anne's art please email me at jmk@mt4life.co.uk or check out the link on the right hand side to her website which will give you a taster of what we can offer.
Well it's 09.00 and emails, website plans etc beckon so I'm going to sign off now. You'll be pleased to hear I'm meeting with James (the guy who's building the website and my IT expert) this weds evening so hopefully he'll be able to show me how to upload my photos so my next post can have some piccies. That's of course once he's stopped laughing and explaining how even his 5 year old daughter knows how to do it...........
May 2013 be filled with God's blessings for you and your loved ones.
Bye for now
