As we all know, this year has been like no other in recent history.  I am very guilty of saying it's been a horrible, horrible year.  However, when I realize a few things that have changed in my life, I'm not sure it's been that horrible.  I've learned some valuable lessons this year. First, let me tell you WHY I say this year has been horrible....  March 9th, 2020, life as we know it in our family changed forever.  My husband Troy suffered a heart attack, coming very close to not making it.  I was told 30 minutes was about the time he had left when we arrived at the ER.  A stent was placed and he was good to go.  (Gratitude #1)  But this totally changed our world.  Troy had smoked for 50 years, and he led a pretty sedentary life.  I mean, he works and he works hard, but he really didn't do any kind of exercise to get the heart rate up.  He is now up to 2.5 miles on his walks. I joke that next year he will be running a 5K with me!  He also stopped smoking.  So proud
