We ring in the new year in about six hours and 20 minutes. I am excited and happy. I am spending the evening at home with the fur kids. Our little family now has four fur kids – Potatoe, our dog, Storme, the cat that we adopted in 2018, and Trooper and Pumpkine, the kittens that we adopted in August.
The area of Houston that we live in is crazy over fireworks. Even last night, it sounded like a war zone outside. I am staying home with the furs to keep them feeling safe during the fireworks. This also means a night of snuggles by the fireplace, which I have been looking forward to.
The furs are one of the many things in my life that bring me a great deal of happiness. Of course, Brainy Bird and Little Chirp are at the top of the list of things that make me happy. My nephew, Huey is another. I love seeing Huey with my sister and his dad. The three of them are a beautiful family.
On the note of happiness, this past Saturday was simply one of the best days of my life. We had so much fun. The boys, Potatoe and I drove to New Braunfels for Huey’s first birthday. We had a little party in the park, and the dogs (Potatoe and my nephew pooch, Bently) had a blast. Huey was all giggles and smiles. It was nice to get to spend some time with my aunt, and to get to know my brother-in-law’s family a little better.
The simple things in life are what make life beautiful. I am looking forward to 2020, with a focus on the simple things and a positive mindset. I think, actually I know that 2020 is going to be my best year so far.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
