May you twinkle ever so brightly.

We made it through another year.
This year sure was a roller coaster.
I didn't blog as much as I would have liked to.
The beginning of the year was pretty rough after losing my father.
I wish I could go back and just give him the biggest hug.
Of course with the amazing support of my family and friends, I've managed to pull through.
I'm reconnecting with those I once lost contact with and I'm just trying to live and
experience life to the fullest. This year may not have started as a good one, but I think there are many life lessons and I'm learning each day that life is truly short and we need to cherish the ones we love and those who love us back.
Stop trying to earn love from those who push you away. Love those who have been with you through ups and downs and have never left your side.
May you live life to the fullest.
Smile more.
Hug more.
Laugh more.
Embrace more.
Give more.
Appreciate more.
May you continue to twinkle ever so brightly.

I want to thank all of my readers for going through another year of blogging with me.
You're all so wonderful to me and I appreciate every single one of you.
May you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy, and beautiful New Year.

Until next time,
Stephanie
