Trying to remember that there is always a reason, always something that makes you smile during the day- recognizing the event, person or situation that made you smile will make your day seem that much better.

New Chapter starts...

but before I turn that page, I am perusing the last one...
2013..
What is there to say...
it was full of surprises....
Full of love...
Lots of laughter...
lots of tears..
Another year in the books,
A thousand smiles..
Through good times and some not so good times...
I am sitting on the couch snuggled up with my kitties and my wonderful husband...
Ringing in the new year in our own quiet way..
Reflecting on the past year...
remembering the people we have lost
Appreciating the loved ones...
talking about the frustrations..
and realizing how little those frustrations actually affected our lives..
Relishing in the smiles...
knowing that they are what we will remember...
Those are what we celebrate..
Vacations were had,
Celebrations abounded...
Another year older,
Another year together..
lots of work done on the house..
more to do..
While we get ready to ring in the new year,
we stare at the blank pages..
wonder how they will fill up...
wonder what memories they will hold...
one thing is for sure...
it is always an adventure...
There will be moments of laughing so hard that we cry,
and crying so hard that we have to laugh...
there will be new people in our lives,
and some that will leave...
but, together, we will be able to look back and realize that we have made it through...
I wish that all of you, in  your corners of the world, ring in the New Year with love, laughter and ready to fill up those pages of the book with wonderful memories....love and hugs and wishes of happiness and a million smiles to fill those pages....
bring it on 2014...we're ready...
