Happy 2012: Simple Gratitude



~ Happy is how you make it ~



Another year, another 5 pounds put on ... LOL!
Those are happy pounds!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Everybody's reviewing their year, looking back ...
I've looked back and seen good and not so good stuff and have decided to look forward instead.
All I can say is that, the past taught me a great deal to cope with whatever's going to come my way and for all the not so good things ... it could have been worse. So, I'm grateful ... for you, for this, for being here, for everything.

Have a great start and put your seat belts on!

HAPPY 2012!

  1. Happy New York to you:) Hope 2012 brings the very best for you. And glad to hear you've overcome the not so good stuff. I think the not so good stuff have given up, they lost the battle with you, they shouldn't be coming back.

    Unfortunately no seatbelts on my chair, I don't keep that kind of equipment at home:)

  8. Great idea Ping - why look back... the past is the past! All gone, done and dusted... best to prepare for what is to come! Happy New Year! :)

  11. Happy New Year to you and yours, and let us hope that the 2012 brings more light, more hope, and more happiness into the world - because of some things (unlike sugar *groan*), one can never have too much!

    Many hugs and best wishes!

  15. Happy New Year, Ping! I am very happy you have apparently overcome the difficulties and hope this year will give you only reasons to smile and laugh. I am happy I have met you. The only thing I regret is that it hadn't happened earlier! I am looking forward to read about your culinary adventures described with the unique sense of humour I love so much!
    I must remember the "happy pounds" next time I feel my trousers a bit tight ;-) Positive thinking is the key to happiness.
