Bonne Annee (Happy New Year!) 2019

Happy New Year, Readers!

A New Year! A New You! And, well…. a new me.

All I really wanted for Christmas was a new calendar and a new year. As I wrote in my last post, this was the worst year of my life.

No, nothing catastrophic or cataclysmic happened. It seemed as though I was a Mean-Magnet. If there was a mean person within a 100 mile radius, that son-of-a-nutcracker was sure to find me!

If I actually wrote a short story for submission to a magazine using my 2018 as the plot, no reputable editor would believe or publish my story. It is remarkable in every bad way. (If you want to know particulars….Stay-tuned and read my next post!)

But on a positive note for my first post of 2019…

On Christmas Day, my dear husband and I wrote down – and shared – things we were thankful for…..it took me pages to finish my list of blessings. That simple exercise made me realize that despite the messes masterfully made by mean mortals….divine blessings flowed into our home.

And, I must admit that because I had a deluge of nasty in 2018, I did some intensive soul-searching which resulted in major changes in myself and to my daily routine.

So, in many ways, I sincerely have an Attitude of Gratitude for my MAUVAISE ANNEE (bad year).
