Happy December 31, 2019!

Oh, boy, this has been quite a year.  So many ups and downs and changes for me personally and for so many people I know.  I've been thinking how I'm not sorry to see 2019 end, but last night I started focusing on all the great things that happened this year instead of all the challenges and difficulties I've faced and I realized that instead of wishing the time away, which is tragic to do because you only have so much of it, I'm happy to live here in the moment on this snowy and cold December morning and am so grateful for all the good and all the lessons I've learned over this roller-coaster year.  I'm so thankful for my wonderful and amazing family and my loving and supportive friends, my career(s), my colleagues, my cat....life's way too short to wish even a moment away, so I'm embracing the tragic and the terrific of 2019 and thrilled for today and hopeful for tomorrow.  I hope your year has been far less challenging than mine and I wish for you all good things today, tomorrow, and every minute that the future holds for you.  Happy New Year's Eve!
