kittenmmm's blog post - Ugh...but not entirely..

I'm sick as a dog and I'm laying full blame on old_wolf...it's all his fault with his "anti-yankee" germs. I already told him that the roads we took to get up here go back down south too, so if he can't hack us northerners he's quite welcome to go back to Texas. I think he'll acclimate.

On another note though, I read Lunna's blog today and she hit the nail on the head there. This has been the best year and the worst year all in one breath. I have a lot of changes in my life, some good... some bad... and some still occuring. But, through change comes growth and new life. You can't grow a tree without first planting a seed and having it struggle to the surface. And that's my life....I have to break out of the shell of my former life and forge a new one.

I suppose that's true of all us in one way or another. Even if you don't have "life-changing" events occuring, you should still be growing somehow. Everything that happens in your life shapes you somehow and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And life is good. No matter what happens I wake to a new day and I have a chance to make it whatever I want as long as I face it with an open heart.

Here's to a new year of new beginnings and open hearts and minds. Here's to embracing life and whatever it brings you. You can't change the past although you can learn from it.

I suppose if I have resolutions for the new year they are thus: Live life to the fullest each day. Love without fear. Sing out loud even if you can't carry a tune. Don't be afraid to dance. Appreciate everything..good or bad. Be thankful. Trust. And last but not least...go with the flow and SMILE.

Love you all...
