January 4

So, the new year has come and I feel, remarkably, slightly prepared for it! I know the things I didn't get done last year that I'd like to tackle this year. I know the personal issues I need to keep working on. I know the direction my life is going. Seems pretty good!

I start this new year very thankful for my life, for so many things about my life. I am exceedingly thankful for my parents, how they raised me, the life the showed me was possible. I am thankful for my husband - he is precious to me and I adore him! I am thankful for my sisters, all of whom I love and miss whenever they are away. 

I could go on and on, but I won't. I'll just keep making little lists every now and then. 

Happy new year, everyone!
