old year...fresh start.

Starting a new year...new goals...and new adventures.

I love how the beginning of each year is kind of a fresh start for everyone. Last years mistakes are forgotten and new goals emerge. There are plenty of "new years resolutions" planned yet rarely carried out. There are millions of diets started and just as many people saying"I'm going to stick to it this year".

But one thing is for sure this year...I am not going to make any new resolution...not going to make a unrealistic "lose weight" plan...Not going to change anything dramatic or get a tattoo. I am simply going to enjoy life.

LAST YEAR...

2009 was a interesting year for many of those closest to me. I have seen births, marriages, and unfortunately deaths. This year has been different than any other in my life. Even 2007 (when I got married) was not as eventful. I have grown up more this year due to the struggles I have had to overcome.

There is still, to this day, a daily reminder of what we have lost. He (Charles) has a harder time than I do...it is still fresh on his mind as if it happened yesterday. It hasn't been a full year since Scott passed. That means there are still firsts...first Christmas without him...first concert since he hasn't been around...first business transaction without his business partner. Every thing that used to include him now has a bitter taste. It will never be the same. This is something that my very productive and handy husband just cant "fix". Please pray for Charles and Scotts family. This reminder isn't going away...and the devastation isn't getting any easier for any of them.

we miss you...

FRESH START...

This is the year for new beginnings. New friends. New adventures. New goals. Old enemies should be forgiven and the past should be left in the past. So I guess that is my so-called resolution. To just enjoy life, forgive but not forget, love like I would want to be loved and live like there is no tomorrow, because you never know when there wont be.

"Everyone deserves to be happy...Everyone."
