Well here I am in another year - 2012 and I need to catch up blogging since it is already half way towards February!

I have changed the name of my blog and inspired by the children's song ' Jesus bids us shine - I base it on the line 'you in your small corner and I in mine'.

I really appreciate my Facebook network - I have met up with friends again from schooldays in Penicuik. Those days seem 1000 light years away from the here and now and yet I have gained so much by sharing on FB with those early friends. Elma and I have met up (with Helen too) in York where Elma now lives and then again we met up in London - twice in a year and yet we had not met since we were teenagers. It is so easy to pick up together again - nothing to prove to each other, no pretence and just a feel good time to share together.

Susan and I both became Christians when we were young and attended different churches in Penicuik - now Susan is the minister of Dornoch cathedral and I share the news of her ministry via Facebook - now that is wonderful and so inspiring.

Today I have enjoyed a day off work - just Robert and myself at home, having taken Alex back after 6 weeks to University in Buckingham. How grateful I am for Robert being in remission and keeping mentally and spiritually strong - and how grateful we both are for Alex and the fact that she has a strong Christian faith and that in her little corner, in rural Buckingham, she is sharing her faith and sharing fellowship.

I have had a few days off work - good to relax and get organised at home. Tomorrow is a new day - a new working week and I am going to look for something new!
