New Year, New You, New Life

so the New Year is upon us. It is time to leave the past behind and look to the future. You can't change the past anyway - right, so why dwell on it. I know it is easier said than done especially when you have been hurt, whether by someone, whether you lost a job, a friend, whether you feel like you are in a deep black hole that you can't get out of. Life is what you make of it. As hard as it is to see the light at the end of the tunnel, there is light there. Take one day at a time, breathe in and breathe out, God throws at you what you can handle, so put your faith into him - there is a reason you go through what you go through - you may not know what it is at the time but there is a reason.

Life difficulties only make you stronger, it gives you that drive to fight, to prove people wrong, to change what has happened, it will strengthen your faith in God, it will strenthen your faith in your family and friends. You may feel alone, but you are NEVER alone.

2012 - a new year. A year for me to let go of the past, a year to forget old friendships that have died, a year to strengthen new found friendships, a year to move past negative people and their vibes, a year of optimisism, a year of kindness and helping others, a year of not wishing ill harm to ones that have hurt you, a year to just forget them, they aren't worth the negative or any thought in my head, a year to wish nothing but the best for my friends who have been through hell this year and hoping they will find the strength and the jobs that they so desperately need, a year to be blessed and thankful for what I have and not what I don't have, a year to love my boys 24/7 and to have patience, a year to continue to become closer to my family, if that is even possible, a year of not putting off lunches with dear friends and dear cousins, because we may not have tomorrow, a year of health, before I am 40 I will be fit. I wish I could do the Pig marathon, but my knees will not allow me, instead, my goal is to be fit and firm by the end of 2012, let's see how well that goes :) LOL....

2012 is going to a GREAT year, it is my attitude that will make it a great year. It is my faith in God that will make it a great year!!!

To all of my friends and family, I wish you a great end to 2011 and a great beginning to 2012. And maybe, just maybe, this will be the year for child #3 (No, I am not, but maybe with a lot of convincing, I will be ) LOL :)............

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all!!
