Cheers!

Happy New Year, dear friends.  It's here - almost.  2015.  As with all years, this one has had its ups and downs.  But the highs have definitely overshadowed the lows.  

I have learned that my Grandmother's favorite saying, if you have your health, you have everything, is so true.  This has been a year of teaching me never to take anything for granted.

Last year, my resolutions included losing ten pounds and exercising more.  Instead of losing the pounds I added five to the scale.  The exercising went out the window if the temps were lower than 50 degrees.  Need I say more?

This year's resolutions are simple and yet very difficult to achieve. I am committed to work on my level of patience.  Anyone who knows me, will testify that my patience is limited.  My second resolution for 2015 is to pray more and worry less.  I admit to being a compulsive worry wart.  

I close this year with a heart full of gratitude.  I appreciate everyone of you who take the time to read my blog.  I have been fortunate enough to meet many bloggers and readers in person this year, and I consider them my friends.   I hope to meet many more in the coming year.

So, I raise my glass and toast you, dear friends.     

May the best of this year be the worst of next!
