Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Despite being sick when I greeted 2012, it was fun. I stayed up late enough to watch the ball drop from our tv in my pajamas with my in-laws.  Matty was knocked out and I didn’t have the heart to wake him up just so I can greet him a happy new year... so I gave him a thousand kisses while he was asleep.  Then, I finished book 2 of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire.  The trilogy was so good, I didn’t want to sleep because I wanted to finish the third book, Mockingjay.  I obviously couldn’t pull an all-nighter, so I got through the first few pages and gave in to sleep.
2011 was an awesome year.  I can’t complain.  I shouldn’t complain. I am blessed.  I have shelter, food to eat, family, clothes to wear, and so many other things that I am thankful for, while others are going thru hardships.  I may not be where I want to be yet, but that’s not something that happens overnight.  It involves a lot of sacrifice and hard work.  Nevertheless, it’s been great.  And i know 2012 is going to be even greater....

Looking forward to another year full of hope, happiness, faith, love, and life.  We have one life to live, so might as well, live it well.
