We all love the holidays but it sure can take its toll on us financially, physically and mentally.

I had great Christmas holidays. Everything went as planned and expected with only a couple surprises thrown in but it was all good. Having learned to be flexible I don’t let unexpected issues throw me. A lot of stuff is completely out of our control and as long as you take it all in stride, all will turn out as it should. Well, that’s my philosophy anyway.

New Year’s hasn’t as yet happened (by deadline) so can only hope it is quiet and peaceful. Not sure what Morgan is doing but know I will see him or hear from him at some point. Our bond is secure so there is no guilt or need to do all the traditional things.

We each have lots for which we can be grateful during the past year but there is much we need to fix in order to have a prosperous,........
