It seems like that's the way of it for me this year, and I honestly can't say my year is off to a very good start. Although I can't say things are horribly bad on a grand scale kind of way, personally for me, they're not feeling too good. I'm trying to shake that off and stay focused on my touchstone word for the year, which is 'carefree,' but in reality I'm not feeling too carefree at the moment. I hope that will change--I'm reading lots of motivational books again, seeing a counselor, and working to stay 'work' focused and not caught up in all the mental agony...not very easy for me. But I'm giving it my best shot...
I'm not sure I ever wrote a followup on my mother's condition, which is really good. She had surgery and things are looking great, though she's still going to have to have some chemo treatments. I know that won't be fun, but at least her prognosis seems to be very good for being completely cured. That's something to feel good about! I've been encouraging her to look at cute hats and have already sent one to her.
Our New Year's Eve was fun...we had our neighbors over and a couple of other women I've met recently, one of them who's introducing me to
Arbonne. If you aren't familiar with these botanical based skin care products, you should really check them out--it's a fabulous company and if you want to know more, ask me and I'll send you some samples! I've been very impressed with the products I'm using, and I've even incorporated them into our B&B rooms. Anyway, we actually all played a GAME--something for me as I normally hate games, but Apples to Apples is pretty fun and non-threatening! We played it over Thanksgiving at my parents and I bought it for Jim.
That's pretty much it for me. I haven't made any real resolutions because I'm trying to just make it from one day to the next at the moment, to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and know that for all the pain, this too shall pass...
