Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from my family to yours (pictured in front of the Alberta Legislature Building in Edmonton an hour ago) It's 2014. I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead. I'm optimistic about this new year although I feel terrible right now due to intermittent abdominal pain. 

I may not know yet the cause of this, but I choose to believe God has a plan for my life so I can't be too downcast. Bloated but unbowed--and still doing touristy things--that's me! OUCH though. ;)
