I have decided that tonight is going to be my best New Years in years. Am I going to be out drunk and ridiculous and unsafe? NO. Am I going to go party with friends? NO. But, I will be at home, eating fresh home cooked seafood with my husband and my cacophony of dogs and dog noise and dancing ridiculously to horrible 80s and 90s music with heavy bass and actually intelligible lyrics! Whooo!

Sounds boring? Well, I disagree. I have done a lot this year, all of it hard. I fought brain cancer. I fought my way back to consciousness after a coma. I managed to keep my business afloat and make sure all my employees were taken care of. I managed to begin digging myself out of the financial hole I was drifting and sinking down in with all the crazy stuff going on.

So, a little down time, me time, husband time and dog time sounds like just the perfect, normal and enjoyable thing. My positivity is soaring so high despite everything that I think it was literally reaching people even at McDonalds today when they gave me free food for a mistake that they did not actually make! Score!

So, everyone, I say have fun out there. Please be safe. Please savor life to the fullest. Have a good time and don’t do anything you will regret for longer than say 24 hours. Happy New Year everyone!
