HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL YEAR AHEAD!

WELCOME 2014!

How do I know as of January 1 that 2014 is going to be a wonderful year? Because I have already decided that it is going to be a wonderful year! In the past four years, I have learned to be grateful for what the Good Lord has blessed me and my family with! We may not have the best of everything, we may be in a tremendous amount of debt, we may be struggling on a day-to-day basis; however, what we have is something that money cannot buy! We have each other! That gift is priceless, and one I would never want to change!

2013 has taught me many valuable lessons! One lesson I learned is that I need to focus more on those who love me and focus a lot less on those who walked out of my life a long time ago. Those people who left should no longer have any control over me, and if I am giving them control by thinking about them daily, then that needless act needs to stop right now! Those who want to be part of our lives will be there! There is no need to keep chasing friendships/relationships that have long ended! 2013 has taught me to "LET GO!" 

What is 2014 going to teach me? One thing I am going to work on right away is, "Accepting things in which I cannot change!" There are circumstances/people in our lives that will never change. We can keep hitting our heads on that brick wall and keep causing ourselves needless pain; however, that seems like a tremendous waste of time and energy! Not to mention the headaches it will cause!

So, last year's, "Letting Go" lesson has lead me to "Acceptance!" 2014 is going to be an amazing year! I know I will learn and grow, and while I'm at it, I will be grateful and thankful for each day of life that is blessed to me! May you start your 2014 with the same positive attitude! Sending you all Peace, Love, and many Blessings in 2014! ♥
