Looking out into a New Year with a friend

Looking forward to what a new year has in store is always exciting.
Very few threads to tie one... ( don't mention the Money word...)
There is a brand new look to move towards, or maybe step back & kind of settle after a tumultious time... or graze over one's options.
These options can be big or petite.. such as a new hair cut or colour, ... or it can be finding a new place & way of living to be in or maybe begin anew in a different country... or travel to countries that you have always wanted to do....
For myself I am rustling up thoughts of moving house ( again ) !!! How exciting don't you think..? It won't happen until later in the year I guess, but I need to have a lot of thoughtful ???? preparation in place... as work gathers momentum as the year rolls on....
A friend's daughter has been critically ill before Christmas & is in the recovery process... young woman with 2 young children... that is such a pace to keep up.. managing & paying for a home, caring for the children & herself & working fulltime...

In the depths of her illness when things looked grim I was trying to think of some good words for her.. but I got to speak them to her on the phone after the core of the illness was discovered .. & she was discharged from hospital...
This is what I said "GRASP LIFE WITH BOTH HANDS AND GO AND ENJOY" "don't worry the children will follow and will happily survive"

I pass that onto myself and to all... what would you all do if you could just grab your life & own it ????
HAPPY NEW YEAR
