1-1-11

It's amazing to me that 2011 is already here.

I am hopeful for this new year. Looking back on the last year, much of the year was spent laughing, smiling, loving, and creating precious memories. We had so much going on, and made some BIG changes in our lives.

I'm so proud of us for all we did, and for making it through the biggest change....moving to Las Vegas in October.

The last month of the year has been a huge challenge for me. Personally....with having a job that I like but working for a company that I cannot stand. And in my marriage....finding out Walt was keeping secrets and had been for a long time. I'm not sure what the new year will hold regarding both these issues in my life, but I start this new year with a positive attitude that I can conquer any obstacle in my way to self happiness.

I love my husband, my life, and where I am. But....I am not happy. I am confused, scared, angry, and disappointed that I have had to deal with dishonesty and mistrust once again. I just never imagined I have to go through this again. I'd reached a place of peace and trust with Walt only to have it snatched away. Unbelievable.

So....I begin this year with an open mind, hope in my heart, and determination that I WILL have all the things to make my world a happy one.

Goals for 2011: A new car; $5000 in savings; a job where I feel appreciated; lost 30 pounds; knit blankets for the ladies in my life; volunteer someplace where my talents and gifts would help someone; see my girls at least twice before the end of the year; go to IMATS in June; visit Disneyland; put my toes in the water and ass in the sand; speak kinder; create at least one scrapbook; go to the north rim of the Grand Canyon;

Dear Lord, please help me to find joy this year; give to those who are not as lucky or fortunate as me; Pray and listen more....speaking less; Watch over our loved ones; In Your Loving Name....Amen.
