A New Journal

With the New Year approaching I bought me a new journal. I get one each year to write down this and that. 

With each new journal I always start out with a New Years Resolution. I only make about three each year.

Last year I made only two and that was to lose weight and have a more positive outlook on life. I have lost 20 lbs and that is good. I think I was doing good about the more positive outlook on life until what happen at my Husbands workplace this year. I know that it is happening all over the country, but when hits home it is hard. 

So this year my New Years Resolutions are

1. To lose more weight and become as healthy as I can
2. To keep looking at the positive things in life no matter what may come
3. To cope better with my Panic and Anxiety Attacks

When I was taking down the Christmas decorations I did leave one out. Winter can be so cold and depressing at times. So I put my white lace tablecloth back on the table and I am leaving up the centerpiece that we got from Davids company party. It just brightens the dining room up I think.

I'm tired

Today I have started to take down the Christmas decorations. I still have the tree up and will take in down in a couple of days.

Last week was truly a wonderful time of the year. We got to visit old friends, family, and the neighbors got together too.

Christmas Eve we spent with our Daughter and her family. Everyone loved their gifts that they got. Only one had to be returned. That is something of a miracle in itself. We did not have  a white Christmas because all the snow that we got the previous week had all melted.

David and I spent Christmas Day at home by ourselves and enjoyed the peace and quite of the day.

 Sometimes I think back at all the other Christmas's and think of all the family that was here on that day. Times change and children grow up and have families of their own and other members have past on. So many happy memories and sad ones too.

I wished we could have seen our Son and his family, but that was not to be. Something that I do not talk too much about is our Son. Several years ago he changed into another person. We have never seen our granddaughter. I get pictures of her from our Daughter. She still keeps in touch with him. As for our Daughter-in law, I try to think good of her, but she and her family are the reason our Son has become the way he has. That is another story and I will not go into it, it is too painful. I just pray to God that he sees the light and let us back into his life.

The New Year will be upon us soon and I am making my list of things I want to change and accomplish for this new beginning.

Merry Christmas
