Happy 2014!

Well here we are beginning a new month and bright and shiny new year!
Happy New Year 2014 to everyone!

Seems like just a few months ago we were celebrating 2013's arrival!!
Another year has flown by me again!!
 I recall my elders speaking about how fast the years were going by, now I am that elder!

2013 has been a year of ups and downs, happiness and sadness mixed in with some unexpectedness and a lot of everyday sameness.
Loved , laughed and cried with our family and dear friends.

Experienced the wonders of new drugs and old drugs that kept us going for yet another year.
Course not every ache or ill was healed .
There have been a few heartbreaks, ups and downs along with acceptance of what cannot be changed.
This is just part of living!

No, not all of our hopes and dreams for 2013 were realized but in some instances that was a good thing!
Not every want we have is good for us!
I feel very blessed to have a roof over my head, enough food to eat and clean water to drink.

Some prayers, hopes and dreams we will carry over into this new year...health and happiness for our family, friends and better health ourselves.
The hope that some where out there is a sweet baby meant to be our new sweet grandchild and make our son and his sweet wife into the parents they so want to be.

My wish for 2014 is to choose to be happy everyday and try my best to live a life of love and caring, forgiveness and be the best person I can be!

I do hope the 'extra' bit of me that appeared in 2013 will slowly go away!
This will be a long term goal to try and lose some weight!
Never in my life did I think I would gain such weight! It must go.. but the right way.
No fad diets or such. Just do my best to eat right and do what exercises I can!

To all reading this blog post, near and far I am wishing you each a Happy and Healthy New Year!
