Happy New Year!!

I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life. But my life was never ordinary. I simply failed to recognize how extraordinary it was.

 

This is the year of quotes….I am thinking that maybe I will great my own…but I could not help but start with this one because it illustrates how humans do not see their lives as extraordinary. And there are so many extraordinary people out there in the world. Our pop culture is so focused on the negative, evil, heartache, money, fortune, fame and dysfunctional actors and politicians.

For me this is a year of back to basics! Family and Fun! Keeping things simple! Being Nice!

 

So I guess I could ask what makes a life extraordinary? My family and all the positive role models I have, my dad, mom, sister! My brother-in-law. Of course my children are extraordinary; I am so proud of Molly a wife to Clayton, mommy to Paul, hard working, home owner, kind, caring and compassionate but also tough! JJ, hardworking college student, 3.25 GPA his first semester at Rutgers! He is kind, caring and compassionate, a well -rounded young man, surfer, swimmer, really smart! Cakie, a real beauty, smart young lady, a teenager, a beautiful dancer, who is growing in kindness and compassion! And William, Wilson, Willie T, T, our sunshine! Working hard in school and swimming always with a smile!!

Fred is my anchor. I have such a wonderful life because I have the best husband any woman could wish, hope or pray for! He supports everything I do and aspire to do! His unconditional love IS extraordinary! There is no other man like him. I am truly blessed to have married him over 27 years ago…the best decision I ever made!!

SO Happy New Year! Back to Basics and keeping it Simple! Live, Laugh, Love with Family and Friends. Explore new things...Happiness, Health, Peace, Love and Joy!!
