It’s so simple but so easy to forget, isn’t it? We can’t always change events that come along, but we can usually control our reactions to them, and whether or not we let them bring us to a halt. We truly are the creators of our own lives, shifting sands or not. Thanks for stopping by, Jan, and Happy New Year to you and yours! 😀 ❤

Good plan, Joan. Tiptoe IN, take a look around, and make sure the coast is clear before getting too carried away. 😂😂😂 But keep your chin up, and don’t let any negative thoughts creep in to cause you hesitation. It feels like a good year for writing to me! Let’s try to make it so! Happy New Year! 😀 ❤
