Well here we are, January 2015. Do you remember 2000? Or are you too young? Sitting unplugged, since there was much debate over computers failing at the change over in time to a new century. It was good though, I remember we played games and had some great family time.
Fifteen years later, my life is quite different. I am retired, not willingly, I did love my job, but due to health issues, I could no longer work. My boys are grown, one married, the other attending University, he has two more terms and he is done.
I lost my dad, but am blessed my mom is still here. We try to connect as much as we can. I am thankful to have my husband, he has been a God send, when I've been feeling down and ill, he never made me feel like I wasn't doing enough, because he knew I couldn't do it or I would be doing it. I have learned to not push myself to the limit of exhaustion. My acupuncturist told me one time, to listen to my body. If you are tired, and your initial reaction isn't yeah, let's do this, maybe you just aren't strong enough yet.
When I have a bad day, I get through it, and often the next day or two, is much better. I'm very lucky I don't have to work, I know that, and am thankful for the wonderful life I have, my family and friends.
Changing my way of thinking, eating, even *gasp* exercising, has helped me feel better, healthier and happier. Using positive thoughts, even on the bad days, do help me feel better more quickly. Even if the day is bad, it's better than some have, and I am thankful for what I have.
Thank you all for being there for me, and letting me be part of your life.
Here's to the best year you can have!
I am done rambling.
