A GRAND IDEA BY MARK KOOPMANS

2013 was a year of loss for our family. My mom died. My son was in a serious accident and is still in ICU.

While I never imagined two back to back catastrophes like this, I’ve learned to live with them and to appreciate my family more than ever before.

So out of death and out of crisis come simple lessons: treasure the moment because that is all you have and treasure the people in your life while you can.

My sincerest thanks to all of my followers and my readers. I appreciate you and I value your part in my life. May you share your holiday with those you love and my 2014 see your dreams come true. 

Here are others who have set aside a few moments on this December 24. 

The Anti-Blog Hop, Hop & A Special Giveaway from S.R. Johannes

MR. ANTI, BUT NOT REALLY.

I’ve been known to HOP on any HOP that comes along. After all why not? I have nothing else to do. Just like other writers I spend a lot of time doing my nails, eating bonbons and napping in a hammock.  However, there are some HOPS that I would not be interested in. Here are three.

The Mosquito Sandwich Blog Hop. . .where everybody loses weight, but is itchy.

The Chat and Cat Blog Hop. . .in which the cat gets all the good lines and gloats.

The Close But Not Quite Blog Hop. . .in which an agent writes, “I loved your story, but. . .”

This totally insane, ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT HOP, HOP is brought to you by

Here’s where you can find the LINKY with the other anti-HOPPERS. While they’re lounging in those hammocks they would appreciate your stopping in to say hi!
