Happy New Year everyone !!

Yes, Happy New Year everyone !!

This is my year !! I'm determined it will be a successful one. Full of adventures, chemo, baldness, less trips to the hairdresser (lol Julie), ups and downs, not a lot of sun (it seems I'll have to cover myself a bit), lots of happy tears, lots of hugs saying see you later, then more when meeting fellow HSCTers from all over the place, some more when I have to say good bye, and then the sweet ones when I come back home. There will be more, I've just been told I'll have my Dad and Stepmom visit me soon after I come back from Moscow. It will be their first time visiting me home in Canada. Even sweeter and I'm sure there will be more hugs there. I know there will be a lot of cyber hugs too. I feel support and good wishes are coming from everywhere. Such a good feeling.

This year started bright already. I can only imagine what's to come. 

I tend to be in the positive side of things, and that's how I want to remain. 

Finally got all the Christmas stuff put away, house looks like a house again. Can't wait until next November, when I have new energy to put up everything again. Who knows .. maybe I'll even feel like decorating the stair railings again, or put up all those extra little Christmas trees. This was not the year for any of that .. lol. I'm focused on not wasting my energy. Efficiency comes first.

For now I still need to go through some milestones here at home to start getting ready for my trip. Today is my 4 year old's birthday. Then in February it's my eldest's one. Then, the countdown for Russia is official.

I found out there's a sweet lady that will start treatment at the same time I will. Exciting. 

Weather is cold too. I feel I'm training for temperatures in Moscow. Yesterday it was colder here than over there. A balmy -20. Nice. With that I'm also really hoping the end of March won't be this cold. I'm not expecting flowers or grass .. but if I can at least not travel with my winter jacket and boots I'm good. Yes people ... I'm packing my suitcase in my mind. Lol.

73 more days ...

So this is a short one. But I want to wish you all a great year. May it be full of blessings, laughter, happiness and new beginnings.
