One year ago, on Christmas Eve, I had a heart attack. If you follow my posts, you know this. I wished I could report that my life has taken a turn for the best...however, I am still struggle with my weight, and I still smoke. Change isn't easy. Sometimes we have set backs that prevent us from achieving our goals. The main thing is we keep trying.
Looking back on the past year, a lot has changed. I know who is important in my life and who I ain't wasting my time on. I know who I can and can not count on. I know that some things I can not change. I must accept how things are, pray God will change it and if not, accept that. I have learned to love harder and make a LOT of memories, even if other people think I'm nuts. I have learned to pick my battles. I have learned to let go of the past and focus on the future. I have learned that no one will run my life except God and me. I have learned that I do not have to answer to anyone or explain myself or what I do to anyone but God. My faith has grown stronger and I appreciate what I have.
I don't live in a huge house. I don't drive new cars. But I have a home, and I have 2 cars. I have a husband that has stood by my side through all the good and all the bad. I have a son that aggravates the hell out of me, but I couldn't love him more. I have a daughter that grows more beautiful everyday and has blessed me with a equally beautiful grand daughter and a future grand son or daughter sometime in July or August. I have a LOT of wonderful nieces and nephews that I just adore and feel blessed to spend time with. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers that no words can describe how deep my love goes for them. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats that think I am the bees-knees. I have a lot of friends that I am honored to know. I am blessed beyond measure.
The coming year has a lot of mystery in it as the future does. I have no clue what will happen in 2014, but I am looking forward to it and whatever it brings I am ready!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here's to a great 2014!!!!!
