A New Chance

Happy 2013 everyone.  I always get excited to start a new year...the wonder of new possibilities and new chances to improve and grow!  As usual I also like to reflect on the year gone by and I find it amazing to have overcome so many adversities yet here I stand...stronger than ever and just happy being me!

2012 went out in style dumping a foot of snow on our doorstep.  What a marvel it was to wake up and look outside to find the world pure and white...it reminded me of that first big snow when I was a child and how I couldn't wait to get outside to build forts, go tobaganning and make a snowman.  I have to admit as soon as that thought entered my head, it left and I thought about how was I going to get shovelled out!!  hahaha!  Luckily a kind neighbour came along with a snow blower and removed the bulk from the end of the driveway and my other neighbour, Sandy, helped Billy shovel what was left.

The wood stove is crackling and I am warm and happy with life...a great start to a new year.  I don't make resolutions but I do have some specific goals set for myself in 2013.  A trip home to Ontario in the spring, lots of road trips and since Billy has never been outside of New Brunswick other than into Maine I want to take him to PEI and Nova Scotia as well. 

May this year bring you happiness, love and good health.
Cheers!!
