It’s been just a year since I last posted. Life has been busy to say the least.
2011 was a full and fast year. How the heck did that happen? From start to finish things went so fast I could hardly believe it. A few months of the year we spent fighting illness, some of it was spent traveling, some with family and friends, and about 99% of it was spent trying to keep up with my kids. Despite what I had heard from others… 3 kids is way more then 2. Haha! But I love them all dearly.
I am excited for 2012. I have plans this year. Not entirely sure what those plans on, but I know they will be good. I have hopes that I can spend more time outside and in the garden this year. Dreams of crafts that I would like to work on and finish. And a goal to make the most of my every waking moment. 2011 woke me up and I realized what a very sad and unhappy person I had become. At the end of 2011 I realized that I needed to end this old mindset and really work to become the happy person I really wish to be. I am so ready for something new in my life.
As a part of my decision to get healthy and be happy I started this morning out by reading my Daily Affirmation book for ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) and what I read is the EXACT words that describe what I want to create this year for myself.
I welcome this new day and the new year
Today I have a fresh start. I choose to begin a new letting go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings and attitudes that have stifled my growth.
This day I choose to think new thoughts, to look at new values and to find new ways of expressing my God-given gifts.
I now choose to deepen my understanding of myself and others. I will look at my relationships with family and my friends in a new light. I choose to have vital, healthy interactions with others.
I truly welcome this new day, this new year, and this new me. I welcome the wonderful possibilities open to me.
Happy 2012 Everyone!

Good luck on turning the happiness around. 2010 was that for me, and it’s finally turning around now. It can be done!
