This may be my most favorite word of all. There are many reasons why it means so much to me. Today is my birthday and I always celebrate it as the beginning of a new year…..full of hope. Ever the eternal optimist I look forward to each new year like a child. I rarely feel depressed about another year passing and another number being added to my age. It is, after all, just a number. In the years I have been on this planet there is one thing I have learned for sure. Attitude is everything. It’s that simple. I won’t bore you with a list of all of the challenges I have faced since this time last year but what I can say is that if did not have hope I might not have fared so well. Difficult times come for all of us at one time or another. But if we have faith in a brighter tomorrow we can get through anything life faces us with. So another year begins for me. I can promise you I have plans to disclose and lots of exciting news to share over the next months. I thank all of you for your faithful readership since this blog came into being three years ago! Remember never, ever give up hope!
