Bye bye 2022 and hello 2023

 

I wasn't sure I would write a post to close off 2022.  I use to do it and I just stopped for a while, but I find myself adding a few book reviews here and thought "what the heck, I am already here".

My friend Cindy keeps better track of this than I do, but I believe both of us have had our blogs running and active for 15 years.  I can't believe that.  I remember when I wrote my first post.....who knew I would have the joy of working with such great publicists both with "paper" copies and now e-books.

I am grateful for every book I have ever gotten/read.  I don't know a life without books.  

Thank you for all the good things that happened to me in 2022 and all the life lessons that were delivered to me though painful experiences.

I look to 2023 with hope and serenity - believing that "I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this moment".  I may not always like where I am, but there is comfort in knowing that there is a plan and a reason I am there.

Every person and every experience I have had has made me who I am - yes, even the experiences I reallllly regret (and there are quite a few of those).

Happy 2023 to all - may you get amazing books to read this year.
