Borrowed this from a niece in Iowa, but wish everyone could attempt to follow this.
I am walking into 2018 with a clear heart and mind. If you owe me, don't worry about it-you're welcome.
If you wronged me, it's all good- lesson learned. If you're angry with me, you have won. If we are not speaking, it's cool(I love you and wish you well). If you feel I have wronged you, I apologize. Life is too short for pent-up anger, holding grudges, and extra pain! Here's to 2018!!! Feel free to copy and paste.
Spread the positive forgiveness! Love to all. I copied and pasted it on my page. If it does not agree with you, I will pray for you!!!
Our Country and world needs these ideas followed. Just my thoughts. Thanks Lisa

Reminder to all Family....Friends..... Xmas Letter 2017
So no Xmas letter, at least write one in a blog and get it posted for the world to see.
Our Grandchildren and great grandchildren have not a clue of what our life was like if you are in your 70's or older now.
Most of us lived through WW11 and Korea and other skirmishes until Viet Nam came along.
Younger ones were in Egypt, and all over mid Europe south for deployment.
Today it is Syria, and Turkey and a large area of that part of the Continent.
I for one had no TV until 12 about 1952/3. Thinking DAD got it just about time I was to start High School. Probably the year before actually. Ed Sullivan show we watched on Weekend evening.
Jackie Gleason Show and a few others but TV was only on about 2 to 2 1/2 hours even on weekends.
We had radio's to listen to and outdoor activities to keep us busy. If we got underfoot they would find work for us to do. Dig Thistles, pound nails, pull staples, gather and carry in Kindling and of course regular logs for fire after well established.
In the summer we canned fruit and garden products in the evening after other chores were done.
We had lots of coloring books and crayons around. We had some very talented cousins when it come to drawing and mixing colors up.
Of course living in the country we had 4 legged animals to care for and feed and groom and train and play with. I found my 4-H pins this morning. I was shocked to have found Mom had saved them.
But we saved the boys pins for Boy Scouts, same principal.
I took Animal Husbandry and Sewing and a Art Class and learned to make molds and statues and paint them. I made scarf, skirt, blouse, dress and apron, not in that order and have sewn ever since.
Neighbor taught us to knit and crochet the European method verses US. Yes it is different.
I learned to tan hides and butcher and plant a garden and pull weeds and what weeds were eatable verses just a nuisance. Canning was never my favorite. Being afraid the Canner would blow up and burn us all. Learned to make Jerky and can meat and cut and freeze animals we raised for food.
We sawed many logs after we would fell a tree to season for the winter coming. No youth today have little exposure to what our world was like prior to 1970.
Please share a piece of yours with your kin they really need to know we were raised to care and share and be mindful of others ways and thoughts.
We learned to play musical instruments and to paint or color. Alice Hess is a cousin of close encouter and Miss Gorman was an Opera star during I think it was WW1. Both Cousins off the FOULK line.

Scouring the Connecticut Census for THOMAS near EASTMAN
Scouring the Connecticut Census for THOMAS near EASTMAN
Yes I went Census dipping and looking for clues. Then I went to the trees looking for clues.
One member has the story right but wrong state. This family started in CT. and ended in New
York then moving west, Ill, to IA and stopped at other states along the way. One child born in OH.
There appears to be many Thomas's. Fortunately, I think DNA may help us with this situation.
Any Eastman male born from Esther Thomas would have DNA from her father. I think Autosomal is the test to be taken. Wish I had thought of this to ask at the Seminar. Also even better would be to find a sibling (male) of Esther's. Then you could do Ydna.
I am so thankful that so many in the family early wrote down the story of this family and what happened. So far every descendant I have met has a copy, especially my parents and older generations.
Great Grandma went down to sign up for the Indian Information and they cut off the event.
I may have her story written in the trunk. Yes I knew my Great Grandmother Eastman FOULK, later Archer. We corresponded from the time I was small until her death Jan of 1958 the year I graduated.
The military lost all her letters when we transported to Hi. among many other vital things.
My Grandmother would tell us how her Grandmother would teach them about living in the rough.
Plants to eat, avoid, how to fix and prepare. Things I have eaten that you never ever see in a store.
She in turn took us out in the pastures and shared with us many of those same informations.
Then I compared them with what my Grandfather told me on my Mom's side and found it very interesting to learn much of it the same.
I hope I have the names in my diary that is in that trunk. Mom could rattle them off easily but she has been gone 5 years and I can only remember three.
