Another year and another decade have been relegated to the past. So many things have happened over the past ten years that sometimes it is hard to comprehend. There have been bad times and there have been good times - all in all a decent decade personally. The country however has not fared all that well - too many bad things have happened. It is going to take awhile to recover from them, but recover we will. This country has gone through so much in the past and made it through that it stands to reason the past decade is not going to get us down. So buck up and smile - things will get better.
The eternal optimist in me has made her presence known at the moment. I am hopeful that things will get better and that happier times are not all that far away. I started the new year waking up with one of the house cats curled up under my chin - sound asleep but still purring his squeaky little purr - and the other curled up in the small of my back. A nice way to be reminded that this is just another day open to all sorts of possibilities and that we have only to notice them and make things happen, even if it is for family only.
My hopes and prayers are for a grand and glorious new year and that family and friends are well and safe no matter where they are. I eagerly await the news of the arrival of the seventh member of the younger generation and I pray for the family and friends that are doing their duty in the military. Be safe Mattie - keep your head down, things are heating up over there and not in a good way.
