Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope that all of you have a great New years and that 2012 is a good year for everyone. I know that 2011 in our family was not the greatest, but we made due and we persevered,

The start of the year is when everyone makes their resolutions. I don't. Resolutions just seem to get broken or forgotten when really all we need to do is set goals. With goals there is a beginning, middle and end. End being the achievement of reaching your goal. A new year is definitely a time for reflection on the past year, seeing what we have learned, finding what we have gained and remembering what we have lost or what has been taken away from the last year; so that we can bring forth that knowledge and use in the next year.

Who knows what is in store for us in 2012. What we do know, is that there will be some good, some bad, a whole year of new prospects. When the previous year is bad, it is hard to look forward to a new year and be hopeful that it is going to be better than the last and guess what? It might not be better, but we can at least look forward to having a clean slate and being ready to face any challenges that appear be for us. We are stronger than we give our selves credit for and the proof is in the simple fact that we are still here, still standing, still fighting and still trying to better our lives and the lives of our families.

Maybe we don't have the perfect life we wanted, but no one does. Maybe we are alone, but then again if you have children, you are never really alone.  Maybe our hearts are broken, or dreams are lying in pieces on the floor, but we can mend our hearts and we can create a new dreams. Remember we are only here for a limited time and the question is, how do you want to be remembered?

Happy New Year and here is to all the prospects that 2012 has in store.

Until next time...
