BRING IT ON!

That's what I say!  Bring on the New Year - we are always ready for a fresh start!  After all, the old one, although challenging, left us alive and safe - with two new beautiful grandkids, a new and improved carotid artery for Pat, a new roof and driveway, and most importantly, with a general sense of happiness and well-being in our retirement. There is not much we could want in 2011 other than more of the same!

I have pretty much quit the New Year's Resolution drill. In the back of my mind I think THIS year I WILL lose those pounds, I will keep my closets more organized, I will not forget my vitamins....but I have accepted my imperfections and probably won't be sticking up a list of resolutions on the refrigerator.  Instead I hope I can just sit back and relax, enjoy the freedom to not make a bed if I dont feel like it, or have a nap in the afternoon and not feel like I am being lazy.  I hope this year we can hop in the car and spend time with those we love.  I hope I can learn to use my Droid. I hope Pat stays healthy. I hope my cataract surgeries go so well that for once in my life I will be able to see the TV without glasses! (And that I will also see what I really  look like in the mirror!)

May 2011 be a GREAT ONE for you all!!
