The New Year is now here and yesterday I wrote down all of my resolutions that included not to take anything seriously, especially resolutions!  So yesterday was a new day and a start of the new year. Tomorrow I turn 62 and among other things, I can now apply for social security.

In addition, it is a time to reflect on where I came from, where I am and where I will be going in life.  I can say that the one good thing that comes with age is wisdom, not brilliance but good ole fashion common sense that helps one survive and thrive.  That is my goal for the new year and the rest of my life.

Thank God I live in Panama where life is simpler and it is easy to live a healthy lifestyle.  So, Happy New Year everyone !  I wish you and your family the best for 2016.
