An amazing year!

I started this post to publish at the end of the year…kind of a “New Year’s reflection”…but this week is a week of “thanks” so I decided to focus on a few things I have been blessed with this year and am thankful for!

I got to go to Phoenix and spend time with Mitchell, Tay and the girls…we visited the Grand Canyon and Tombstone!

Katie graduated from college…that makes Brian and I five-for-five!

My oldest grandson graduated from high school and started college.

I got to take my baby girl to New York City…something I have wanted to do for YEARS!

Brian and I vacationed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and toured Yellowstone…an AMAZING trip!

Matt and Hannah’s wedding…I honestly didn’t think anyone could top a wedding in Maui…but their wedding on a bluff over-looking the mountains was just as beautiful!

I am healthy. I have everything I need. I have a wonderful partner and we have five amazing children!

It has been another amazing year.

That is not to say that “bad” things haven’t happened…but I CHOOSE every day to focus on the positives.

After all, happiness is a CHOICE! So this Thanksgiving, choose to focus on the positives in your live, be grateful for those things and resolve to carry a heart of gratitude all year!!!

I have said it before and I will say it again…..
