I decided to start a blog since I am now an “empty nester” and have a lot more time on my hands.  This extra time gives me the ability to reflect on my past and observe what is currently happening around me.  No one gives us a manual on how to live a happy  life. Certainly, I am no expert in this area.  I have though been very  blessed in many aspects of my life and I thought a blog would be a fun way to journal some of my thoughts along the way as I get older.  Thanks for reading!
