So… been a while…
Here it is the last day of 2007- what a year. The single best thing of my entire life happened this year- my Daughter was born. I have high hopes for 2008, but I really don’t think anything (short of another child) could top 2007.- Note to self- must pick up refill of BC at drug store!
I’ve been battling with this overthinking brain of mine to come up with my new year’s resolutions. The typical ones immediately come to mind; be kinder, be more patient, talk less…listen more… don’t speak negatively of others. New year’s resolutions are not such a big deal for someone like me who seems to be constantly in a state of self-improvement/self-evaluation.
I have high hopes for those close to me for the upcoming year. I have a friend who is in a troubled marriage- I hope she finds her way out and lands on a safe, happy island where she can finally accept herself and love herself- she is worth loving, she just doesn’t know it right now.
I have another friend who has had her fair share of struggles this year, but has also had a lot of highs. A lot has finally came through for her and I hope it continues into the new year. I hope the nasty ghosts from the past will find someone else to harrass- for her sake. She will make it- she always does. I have so much faith in her.
Then there is me. I am back to work this spring, so that will be a new adventure- working Mom. I hope I can be the leader that my team at work needs. I hope I can help them grow and move forward in their careers. I also hope they can help me grow as well. I hope my husband and I can continue to work through the common triumphs and tribulations of marriage. We continue to work on our relationship after the addition of our first child- wow that’s a big change. No one prepared me for that one.
So, we go on, we get better, we get wiser and hopefully we get kinder.
Here is to a brand new, fresh year ahead.
