Another new year has begun, and once again I have no idea what this year has in store for me and my family. In someways it is exciting, and in other way it's kind of stressful because it can kind of go one of two ways. It can either turnout to be a great year with lots of highs and good fortune, or it could be another stressful year with lots of worry and anxiety filled days. Clearly the latter seems to be more normal for us. I certainly am going into 2011 hoping for the best and praying that things go well for Jon and his career. Regardless of what this year brings, I will continue to try my best to have faith that things are going to be OK no matter what. If we've learned anything from the 4 1/2 years we've been married it's that we somehow we always manage to survive and get by. At the moment I am pretty stressed and having mini anxiety attacks. Hopefully a good heartfelt prayer and paying tithing Sunday will set me straight and lift my spirits again. I am not going to make a list of resolutions this year. They generally only leave room for disappointment in my opinion. However, in general I just wish for more happiness in 2011 for me and my boys. I hope we can find ways in 2011 to be happier as a family and with ourselves as individuals. I think if we can manage to do that in the midst of stress and worry we'll do OK, and 2011 will be a good year regardless of what may or may not happen.
Amen to everything you just said. It's like we are the same person, or something. Kindred spirits, I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you have any more mini anxiety attacks, call/email me. The kids are both sound asleep, and I am looking for ways to avoid exercise. :) I hope things work out for you this year, and Jon's career flies high. Good luck.
