HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
As another year has come and on it's way out, what a better time to reflect upon all the great things we have in our lives. I know many of us have had loses in the last year, those family or friends that we will never forget and will forever be in our hearts. I lost my brother, only 49 years old. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him, and wonder, if there was something I could have done more for him in his life. I have prayed so much for God to give me the answer, and of course, the answer is no. We all have our own lives to live, but they are so much sweeter when we have people in them that we love, so when they do leave this earth, a little piece of us is missing. It takes time to regain our normal lives, but we not only do it for ourselves, but for them. God has blessed me more than I could ever have imagined. I have a healthy beautiful, precious, loving daughter, and a wonderful husband of almost 35 years. I have a very large family here in Florida and spread around the country. Thanks to my wonderful Grandparents, who taught us what family is all about. Family to me, is the greatest gift anyone would have, no matter their size.
So, as this year comes to an end...I just want to wish everyone the most wonderful, happy, healthy, and blessed New Year. May all your dreams and hopes come true, may your worries be gone, your laughter, loud, and love for life grow. With each new day, I hope you have an experience, you may not have experienced yet. Remember, we are in control of our destiny...with God by our side.
Happy New Year!!!!!
