For all, old and new to this group. I want to wish ALL a Happy New Year.
No matter how trying our lives are..some how we manage to get here.
One of the most constructive aspects of health management I have in place and hope you share this in your life.

It was suggested to me a long time ago to pick ONE positive thing about self or life and let that be what I (you)lead the day with. Oh it takes strength some days. Many of you help me with this whether you know it or not.So a big heart felt Thank You.

Today my first positive of the day is DS. It always leads to at least one more positive focus for me.

Cheers!!

Awesome thread to start the NY off. I'm so grateful to be blessed with a beautiful granddaughter Aly. She's 6 my 1st granddaughter. I babysat both girls yesterday and I got to bring Aly home with me to spend the night. We played with Polly pocket for hours. She stayed awake and we watched the ball drop. I can't think of anybody I'd rather kiss at midnight than her.

We went to bed at 1:30 am. It was wonderful even though she turned sideways and kicked my hip twice. OUCH! I'd be lost without DS (all of my dear friends).

Happy New Year everyone.

This morning I am extremely grateful my body works as well as it does and can get me out of bed and doing what needs to be done!

We went to a show where comedians portrayed our city as overrun by one type of people over another despite the audience being filled with the "wrong" type (in their jokes).
That and music. Volume set to deafen.
Hubby came out to lobby with me to talk. That's a first!
