Auld Lang Syne.....saying goodbye to 2010 and remembering how I overcame another year.
Once upon a time I planned out my future. Once upon a time I made resolutions. Now I am grateful just waking up in the mornings.....going to work.....being around the people I love.....talking to my family who live distances from me.....watching my grandchildren grow and pray I am able to watch them get married and have children of their own.
I have a wonderful boyfriend who knows how to make me smile and/or laugh when I have had a rough time.
There are moments when my own body pains overwhelm me and parts of my body refuses to function correctly.....but despite the pains, I continue to push on everyday.
I am a workaholic, I push my own boundaries, and I refuse defeat in anything I do physically. I focus on positivity so I can deal with all that is real in my life. I refuse negativity in my life....there is no good in thinking in that frame of mind.
I don't plan my future anymore....I live one day at a time. I live that way because I want to embrace every moment I am here.
I wake up every morning and give thanks for the opportunity to start my new day despite the fact that I have a slow start in the beginning.
I'm not complaining....I am thankful I am here.
I have the strength, the stamina, and the determination to face whatever challenges I have for that day and everyday.
I'm not afraid of challenges....that only makes me stronger.
So goodbye 2010....thank you for a wonderful year.
I'm ready for 2011....my cup runneth over and I am ready for all the new challenges in my life.
