Happy New Year's Eve

What a year this has been! Next year HAS to be better!

Rather than dwell on this year I am simply finishing it with a bang and promising myself that the new one will be much much better -- for me and everyone else.

I went to St. Louis this week for the first time in nearly two years. The drive wasn't bad at all and I had a wonderful time with old friends. I put my new platform bed together today, which meant taking the old one apart. I'd been dreading this for weeks, even thought about trying to hire someone to do it, but I did it!

That just goes to show I should never under estimate myself. It was physically hard, but I just took one step at a time and it is a done deed. I want to remember that this coming year.

One step at a time I can do almost anything I put my mind to.

And so can most other people.

Now I'm going to relax, sort of, and watch Alabama play Michigan State!
