Happy Sunday to all and Happy New Year! Here we are, on day one of a brand new year. There are many new year's quotes but my favorite is this one: "A New Year is like a blank book, and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself". How true but sometimes life gets in the way and not everyone is able to write a beautiful story. We spoke to an old friend yesterday and found out that he has cancer. We were very sad to hear this and can only imagine how difficult it must be for him and his family. Life is precious and we must enjoy every single day.
This past week was quiet. We felt like we were on vacation. Although we went about with our daily routine, we also took the time to just sit around and do nothing. We watched a few movies, went for some nice walks and started to plan our Fall trip. More on that later.
Our New Year's Eve was quiet, just the way we like it. To my surprise, we managed to stay up until midnight. Cooper was sleeping soundly until we wished each other Happy New Year. He wanted to be part of the action so we had a three way hug. Today is another quiet day. We have our own tradition on New Year's Day which is very simple: we watch the Rose Bowl Parade, we have some nibbles at lunch and Russell likes to watch the various football bowls in the afternoon. Me, I like to read a good book and listen to oldies while basting the turkey. As for the Coop, he splits his time between Russell and I. A nice and relaxing way for us to start the new year. Nothing fancy but it's cozy.
That's it for my first blog of 2017. I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.
