2012 Hope and being Grateful
2011 wasn’t a terrible year. But it was a hard year. There were many deaths in our family this year and we attending a lot of funerals.
When we rung in the new year, Lee and I discussed how many great things are going to happen this year.
On New Years Eve, we were all celebrating. After the clock struck 12, it is customary in Brooklyn to go outside, make noise and wish your neighbors a happy new year. Kids take a pot and wooden spoon outside with them and bang them. Even when the kids on our block stopped making noise, we could hear the clanging from pots surrounding our block.
I am so grateful for my family & friends. I am lucky to be a teacher and have such fantastic students. I am grateful that I know and can feel blessings in my life each day.
Hugs,
marlene
