Happy New Year 2017

As I reflect on 2016,
I am thankful for so many blessings.
Thankful for my mother, what a strong woman.
Amazing beyond words the strength she exhibits.
I am thankful for my two daughters.
always by my side, my rock.
My sister and brother who I love dearly
through lost battles and lost siblings,
our love always prevails.
I am thankful for my grandchildren
who keeps my smiles coming.
Forever my heart and joy.
I'm thankful for my memories of the past,
special times, special loved ones.
Thankful for all my family, and all my friends.
It is always nice to see you when I can.
Thankful for my health, a kind heart
the wisdom gained, a stronger faith.
I'm always thankful for another day.
No resolution this year 2017.
I just pray for everyone 
to have a Happy New Year!
           "2017"
