“Remember, Cooper, something wonderful is going to happen today!”
Even though Cooper sometimes sighs and raises his eyebrows when I say this, I can tell by the way the corners of his mouth go up a bit and by the little twinkle in his eye, that deep down Coop loves hearing me say this every day in my sing song voice as I leave the house. I mean really, what teenager wouldn’t? Right???!!!! 🙂
Well, on this last day of 2015 as we head into a new year, I want to say the same thing to all of you:
“Remember, something wonderful is going to happen in 2016!”
I hope this past year has been a beautiful time in your lives and my wish for all of you in 2016: Lots of love, success, wonderful new experiences and abundance!

Beth, you are the walking example of great things are going to happen to you. What happened in 2015 that surprised you? I love walking through life with you because there are surprises around many of your corners. You make things happen! And do it with joy.
Awwwwwww! Thanks Barb! You are always so kind and encouraging. 2015 was filled with surprises but I think the biggest surprise was how much I LOVE teaching Kindergarten all day. 🙂
