I've learned a few things in 2016. Hard things are possible. I learned that if you set goals and stick to them the payoff is worth every second of the effort. I learned that when your kids leave home, life really does go on. And it's still a happy life. I was reminded on numerous occasions that family is what really matters. Nothing can compare. I'm hoping that 2017 brings more of the same for me and my family...because it's a beautiful life as is.
