Happy New Year to all of you and your families.  With the arrival of 2020, people are wishing me good health.  I am working hard to get stronger each day, but my wish for 2020 is to keep in touch with each other as I move forward.  GBS opened my eyes to those I love and treasure most, my family and friends.  As I welcome in the new year, I don't feel sorry for myself because I gained more than I lost.  I not only made new friends, but grew closer to those I have had the pleasure of having in my life.  During the past 6 months, my children have been the people to keep you informed about what was going on. They have always been amazing, and took that to a whole new level. I have not posted, or read all the replies that have been posted by you.  As I find myself with a little more time, I have been seeing posts, and again, I am humbled by your kind words.   I have learned that you never know whose life you have touched.  You don’t realize the power of your words or actions until someone shares it with you.  I have been fortunate to have a career working with children and families.  Always told my children to find something they love to do and it will never be work.  My passion took over my life at times, and that took me away from taking care of those closest to me.  Many of you reading this have told me to slow down.  Well GBS did that!  Stopped my body but not my spirit or my heart.  I challenge each of you, to make your “2020 Vison” about the people in your life.  Small gestures, a phone call, hand written note, text, baking, shovel their walk, or just smiling and saying hello to a stranger going by.  In so many ways we are losing the human touch in life.  Replacing humans with automation and I hear you Jon, cell phones attached to our hand sending texts instead of talking and being “present” in our life.   Look into your heart and let someone you know how much they mean to you.    I hope that I let you know how much you mean to me.  OK Patrick and Beth I am getting off my soapbox, lecture over!!    Together let’s make a difference in someone’s life. Love, peace and hugs.
