A New Year

Another year has started and like every other beginning it comes with new hopes, new loves, new (maybe old) resolutions. For me this year is another opportunity to become a better person, a more patient, more loving woman/mother. We added a new life to our family back in October, Simon, now three months old. He's definitely different then his older brothers, more mindful of his momma. The others were and are still very mindful of their daddy. It's a nice change of pace. While the other two have a place for me it's still nice to be number one to someone in the house, even if Simon is still just a baby.

This year I am working on taking time out for me. Taking time to better care for the house and the family. Appreciating the little blessings and finding the silver lining in even the most dire of situations that seem to arise when they are needed the least. It's amazing how a little change in perspective really changes every aspect of life. It's not easy to put away expectations but sometimes if we stop expecting things out of people then they come through on their own! This is something that all people can appreciate...allowing others to come through on their own instead of coming through because of some weird feeling of obligation.

Time will continue on and this year 2012...well I'm really looking forward to all it holds for me and mine.
