The new year has started and it seems that my two luxurious weeks off with my kids is a distant memory. It’s funny – and sad – how quickly time flies.

I am vowing to make this year count. I’m going to do things that make me happy and my kids happy and are good for my family.

Life’s too short, isn’t it?!

Over the holidays, I unfortunately heard details of friends who are ill, how cancer struck again and it makes me realize that we don’t have an infinite number of days. I cried when I found out that a girl I went to high school with had passed away. She was 40.

It hit home and I decided that it was time to make some changes.

There will always be struggles and tough times, but you have to live life. Kiss your kids and hug your parents. Love with all your heart and live your life.

Every day.

Today’s Music Monday song is Time of our Lives by Pitbull and Ne-Yo.

I hope you have the time of your life today.

Tomorrow.

Always!

Happy Monday.
