As with every new year, I often think back on the year we are leaving behind. Every year we should be able to pick out moments that have made us smile, made us grow or changed a direction in our life. Of course, there are so many standout moments that affect all of us in one way or another: the events at the Capitol on Jan 6, a new President took office, hopefully most of us got vaccinated (and boosted!) and of course we lost the legend Betty White. Personally when I look at my 2021 for the moments that made me smile, made me grow or changed a direction, a few things stand out. 1. Hit the one year anniversary of "working from home" with no return to office in site. 2. Feb freeze with no electricity for 72 hours and house at 42 degrees. 3. Birth of my second granddaughter--Madilyn Kae. 4. being able to dust off my suitcase and make a few trips: New York, San Diego, LA, Vegas (2x) and the beach (Crystal Beach, Tx) Probably one of the greatest moments was a huge surprise--planned and executed by two dear friends. I went to Las Vegas with my wonderful sister in law. We arrived, ate, walked around and then she had me meet her in the center of the casino. We where there talking when all of a sudden, someone pinched me on the hiney! I spun around thinking that someone was about to be punched when WHOA.....there stood my friend Lisa and Mindy. WHAT??? I had just seen her a week earlier and had no idea they were coming to LV. I screamed, I jumped up and down and was in complete awe of what was happening. How? What? Why? My husband and I are going on a trip with them in January and they said because I was doing that, they wanted to surprise me and come to Vegas. WOW....that is such a sweet friendship we share. Those two gals fill my cup. I am so grateful and honored to call them my friends. While these were moments in 2021, they will be in my "forever" list of standout moments. I pray that you have some wonderful standout moments of 2021 and that on 12/31/22 we all can just add to that list. Happy New Year.
