Happy New Year

This is going to be an adventurous year. I for one am excited about the unknown. Changes good or bad. I look forward to it. I view it all as a learning experience. After all, we can't turn back time. We just have to keeping moving forward with the hand we have been dealt. It can be scary.

A new year has given me the chance to reflect on the past year. I have been blessed. Last year was so very colorful for me and our little family. The most important thing I learned from last year was that life is fragile.

Death is a hard thing...but after last year, I see that having a young loved one deal with an illness that is not very well understood, is harder to some degree. I have learned that I am only as strong as I want to be, both physically, mentally and spiritually. My role as mother and wife is far more significant than anything I can do in someone's office. I truly love my family. I have one of the best.

I am hoping that this new year will allow me and mine to use the time we have been given to uplift one another. I see our contributions to the family as gold nuggets and value them as such.

Again, I am looking forward to what this year is to bring. I am not naive to think that there will not be challenges along the way, but I welcome them. What choice do I have? I just hope I have done the things to help our family to get through them.

How about you? What are your hopes for the new year?
