New Year, New Motto

New Year's Eve 2016 my 11 year old wanted to stay up until midnight.  We had movies and snacks and fire crackers which were all popped by 9:30.  About 10 o'clock I noticed that the kid had fallen asleep on the sofa.  I roused him to walk him to bed and he popped up frantically and said, "I'm alive, I'm alive!"  Obviously he meant to say "I'm awake" but in his sleepiness awake became alive.  But for me it had special meaning.  I hope that on July 13th I can wake up and say that.
