It's That Time Again

Another year draws to a close.  A good year for me, and I hope it was a good one for you, too.  There is always a mix of sorrow and happiness, but I do strive to minimize the sad stuff.  For example, I avoid sad movies and books; I befriend upbeat people; I keep a smile on my face most of the time, knowing that not only does my smile make me feel happy, but it can be up-lifting to others; I take a look from another perspective when I'm bothered by something or someone...now that can sure be eye-opening.  All this from the high altitude of 63 years.  Next year, I'll be even higher.  The view is ever changing.
