HAPPY NEW YEAR

How could I possibly let the new year start without spewing some words of  . . . Hum, you are never going to hear words of wisdom from me so forget that. Cursing, swearing, pissing and moaning are more my style so Happy New year and here's to hoping I will do a lot less of all that come 2014.
TWENTY FOURTEEN !  WOW !  Remember back when it was the " Turn of the century" and we all thought the world would end, the computers would blow up, the banks would fail? And here we are, fourteen years later and still rolling along. We still don't have flying cars, much to my disappointment, but then again the way people drive here in Florida it's a good thing. I guess in a away it might be safer cause there wouldn't be so much up in the air to distract drivers like H. He drives along looking at everything BUT the road. But at least he is still here with us. What else would I ever write about?  Last year we were starting the year in the middle of chemo and radiation. Now, 12 months later he is cancer free!  Who would have thunk it?  And what about the TWINS! A year ago I sure as hell never thought Kent and Kristen would ever have another baby, no less twins. come to think of it, Kristen and Kent never thought they would have another baby, NO LESS TWINS!
It's always interesting how on this one night of the year we all seem to stop and give a little thought to what we have experienced during these past months, weeks and days.  We think we will do better in the new year, we will be more energetic, get to the gym more often, loose those extra pounds, save those extra dollars, get a new hair style, get serious about cleaning out that spare room. And then suddenly it is new years eve all over again and we haven't changed a thing. But we are a year older, hopefully a bit wiser and it seems a bit more tired and slower. The grand kids are bigger, louder, and more energetic. The spare room is still a mess, the new hair style looks pretty ratty and is a pain in the butt to take care of, I don't dare get on the scale because my clothes tell me I have not been loosing weight and the numbers in my bank account are sliding in the wrong direction.
BUT because the number on the calendar is changing we push on with high hopes once again and the prayer to GOD to bring us through one more year alive and kicking.
