That’s right!  As I sat having my morning coffee, I looked at my wife and my two son’s laughing, horsing around, coming up with new blue prints for our very disrepair home.  My thoughts drifted to the 30 some odd years that I have made new years resolutions, with dismay the ones that were made never did even remotely come true.

This year I had the privilege of spending time with my son, his fiancé their two beautiful children, my baby sister whom I have loved dearly and will protect till the day I die, her three wonderful children, her new boyfriend.  Our mother was there with her long time companion.  My new wife our two children.  We all had fun, laughed, ate till we were turkeys and hams ourselves.  Driving home we had the most awesome snow blizzard, the children were amazed at the size of the snow flakes.

It was beautiful, now that new year’s is coming around the corner, I let go the thought that people would learn the truth about my life.  The consequence's I suffered to keep the peace.  The turmoil in our world.

So this year I make no resolutions, I will make sure that I can put smiles on the face of everyone that crosses my path.  I will extend my hand to help any one.  Open a door to those behind me.  A wave to my neighbors, to allow someone to go ahead of me in a line, or allow someone to go before me at

I can change my little world and maybe it will pay if forward to others.  Love, respect, charity, kindness starts at home, so from our home to your home, we hope the new year finds you full of love, life and laughter.

Happy New Years to all.
