Happy New Year! Honestly, I've always been a little saddened by the coming of the new year. Maybe because I am so blessed to always have so many wonderful memories of the last year that I'm not ready to say good-bye. Time goes by so quickly that I just want to cherish it all and never rush new beginnings. I wish I could say I live that day to day, but I'm not perfect and definitely don't always cherish life's small moments as I should.
2010 had it's hard times, but was also filled with memorable and joyous moments. Incidentally, all of the times I have considered to be a challenge have brought more and more joyous moments to our life. That is a lesson I am taking from 2010 and living with in 2011. No matter what the challenge or struggle, even when everything feels hopeless & couldn't be any worse I want to have faith in knowing that there is a plan and I will be able to get through it. Not only can I get through it, but find the joy within those tough moments.
Remembering 2010 for me looks something like this:
|
Finding a cancerous tumor in MaKenna's foot...2 surgeries and 2 months of radiation |
|
MaKenna finishing radiation and as of now no signs of cancer! |
|

I can't wait to experience 2011....obviously we will have a lot of firsts and Tyler and I get to experience all the struggles and joys parenting brings. But, I don't want to forget 2010! It was a great year, especially with Tyler by my side.
I hope everyone has lots of memories to cherish from 2010 and a blessed 2011!
