2017..Let's Do It!!!

Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; 

here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold...

 2017 has already begun. We have the rest of the year to make this an amazing one
 and to steer our lives hopefully in the direction we want it to go.  Not always
 the easiest of things, but always worth the effort of trying.  If we don't try we will 
never know what we can accomplish.  So here's to giving 2017 our best shot!

Cheers to everyone....Let us not drink to the past,

 but to the future.  HAPPY NEW YEAR'S ALL:)

Now, as we close one chapter, the pen is gradually inking up, preparing itself

 to write the next.  Starting over is an acceptance of a past we can’t change, 

an unrelenting conviction that the future can be different, and the stubborn

 wisdom to use the past to make the future what the past was not...

And So Begins 2017...(jan 1st)

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book.  Write a good one..

2017.  All I can say and hope for is that it is better than 2016.  2016 was not

 the best of years for us, but as Rima says, 2017 is the year of the Monkey. 

 Definitely has to be better.  For all of us.  Happy New Year everyone.  

As I keep reminding myself daily, there is always something to be thankful 

for and grateful for.  Ask yourself, what are you grateful for today?

Many changes has happened in our lives.  Not all good, but at the same time lots of

 positive things as well.  We took a leap into something new and here we are in Branson, 

Missouri experiencing a change we both longed for.  It's different, but still good.

My heart can never and will never be able to get over my Brutus nor Shadow, but 

I hope that it gets a little easier.  Honestly I am doing the best I can, but

 there are days when everything just comes crashing down on me and 

for a while I am back to grieving.  It definitely comes in waves.  

I can't forget, but I am always trying to be positive and to focus on what has to

 be done. I hope this year is going to be much better for us, that I don't always carry 

sadness in my heart and that no matter what, I never take for granted Arvid and

 all the goodness we have together.  The possibilities sure are endless.

  And now we welcome the new year.  Full of things that have never been.

May 2017 be the year that we have all been waiting for.  Cheers to all!!!

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start,

anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

This is the beginning of anything you want...
