HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

January 1, 2013

As I Reflect back on 2012 I am continually amazed how one’s life can change in an instant.  2012 took me on an emotional ride that included the thrill of traveling in Latin America and sharing many special moments with Michael, to the heartbreak of his sudden death.  As soon as I gave up wanting grandchildren, I was blessed with Sebastian and the promise of another grandson, Will, in 2013. I am grateful to my son and daughter as they offer me the gift of a new generation to love and support me in the decades to come.

I am thankful for the generosity of new and current friends and family who crossed my path this year and participated in this rollercoaster ride. You gave me the strength to endure the loss of “Normal.”  I am on a new path, trusting my intuition, and constructing a new normal.

This year I have been challenged to see beyond the thick, gray clouds to a bright, colorful horizon filled with new life, love, and possibilities. “Never take one moment for granted” will be my New Year’s resolution!  I wish you all the blessings that change can bring to you in this New Year, embrace them. I hope our paths will cross soon to share the wonder of 2013.
