A new year. A new start. A fresh slate. This is usually one of my favorite times of the year. I have survived the holidays and I am ready to start fresh. I don't make resolutions, they are and have been always a point of failure for me. Instead, I make goals - short term mostly because they seem a little easier. One of these goals is to write more on my two blogs. They aren't fancy blogs, they are probably more like journals, but I am hoping to incorporate more into this one especially.
I was looking forward to the New Year since right before Christmas. Ready to put 2013 behind me. It wasn't a bad year... A LOT of really good things happened...just ready for new things. And 2014 promises to be a grand year with a new grandbaby and a wedding. I am so super excited about these things.
Just as I was ready for January 1, it seems that (what I will now call) "The Monster" has taken over. Things are changing because, well, life changes. I am changing and although I am certain that the end result will be just fine, the process is proving to be somewhat painful. With my ever-so-supportive husband and my family, we will get through this. It may be a long journey, there may be some not-too-happy posts, but at the end we will be okay. I'm sure there will be more posts about this "Monster" and maybe I will be able to explain a little more - if I can understand myself.
Today is my Mom's birthday. She is celebrating it in Heaven. I am sad. It's just part of it. I'm trying to not dwell on the sadness but more the celebration of her. Like I said....I'm trying. I believe ice cream is in order.
That's all for today.
