This afternoon, I was preparing to bring in the new year with the my boys and had sudden moment of reflection - to be honest it actually caught me off guard. I was watching them curled up so cute counting their sheep or at least cuddling with them. :) It just got me thinking... Wow - what a year! It's been full of ups and downs... not to mention the many challenges and rewards. Through it all, I'm so grateful our family and all we have been given! 
This is the time we are supposed to reflect on things we can do better in the upcoming year. So many of my life lessons have been taught to me by Andre and Taylor. It's amazing how animals cope with adversity - we can learn a lot from them.
So here are some of my resolutions:
- Remember to appreciate everybody and everything - you never know when it might not be there
- Take time to enjoy the small things - including one last tug on a toy before heading out the door to work :)
- Throw a party and celebrate all achievements - no matter how small
- Say thank you and I love you more - people deserve to know they are appreciated, loved and needed
- When all else fails take a breath and smile, it's better than the alternative
- Laugh more - it really is the best medicine!
Happy New Year! :)
