So 2014 was a hard year for a lot of people … it was here in the Moonsong household …

The highlights started almost exactly a year ago in January when Sandy, Alta and I were broadsided in Alta’s RAV4 by someone going too fast on icy roads…

Surgeries and health issues kept one or more of us in the hospital or flat on our backs healing for over 7 months of the year …

We said goodbyes to friends who have crossed over …

We have watched the news … enough said about that …

There are no promises that life is easy, common thoughts are that it is just the opposite …

Bottom line … 2014 kinda sucked … but it is past … as each day passes and is past …

And we still go forward …

So I want to share balance for 2014 going forward …

In 2014, we went on a few island cruises and enjoyed the fresh air and tides …

We purchased 5 acres of land to build our new home on and put our beach home up for sale …

My artwork has been a wonderful release and focus and it has been a joy following my muse.

Each of us here has laughed, rested and lived this past year … and that is the balance … bad things happen and good things happen … we draw from each what we need and we focus on today … and tomorrow … Past is past and we keep what want to carry forward and leave the crap where it belongs … in the past.

So my resolution for the new year is this …

I will live each day as it comes … I will embrace the good and deal with the bad as it happens … and set my focus on Joy, Laughter and Peace …

This is life and this is what we do … 🙂
