A New Year, A New Attitude, Hopefully :)

Well we are 10 days into the new year. It is hard to believe that another year has passed and my kids are another year older. Life goes by way too fast!!

Yesterday I was gently reminded by some close friends that I am way too hard on myself. I received beautiful words of encouragement and love from them that will be cherished forever. While pondering the things we talked about, I remembered a song that I used to sing a lot when I was younger. Music is a big part of my life,( if you cant tell!) It makes me understand things and touches my heart in ways that words alone generally don't. These words put to music, express some the many feelings I have struggled with all my life.

The things that were told to me yesterday, by these wonderful women, are not new to me. They are things that the Mr has been telling me our whole married life together. But, I guess I am a slow learner!! I am not sure I will ever truly accept the things I am told until I fully comprehend how much I am loved by my heavenly father. I am sure that I will struggle with many things, like these feelings for the rest of my days on this earth, but, I am so grateful to wonderful friends that care enough about me to worry. It is a true blessing to know that there are people around you that understand and care. So to those beautiful women and to my wonderful husband, that tells me everyday that he loves me, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
