Hello Out There

Um, so that was quite the blogging absence.  Sorry to have been gone so long.  Truth be told living my life just got the better part of my time and there was less time to write about it.  Our home has seen many visitors these last few months.  I have also been a visitor and was able to snuggle my brand new niece, as well as her big brothers and big sister, in late October.

I stopped working after Thanksgiving, but may be returning to work shortly.  My time at home has been wonderful.  We have eaten many home cooked meals, our house is getting better organized and I made a ton of progress in the fitness department.

This year has started out thoughtfully.  I haven’t set any new resolutions, but I have done a lot of thinking about how to live my life better.  How to have fewer regrets.  How to worry less about things I cannot control.  One night when I was feeling quite antsy and unable to go to sleep I came across this talk.  It has helped my perspective tremendously.  I have choices.  I can choose to be happy and I can choose to have faith no matter what cards I am dealt.

“Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.” – Bishop Edgely

All of that is easier said than done, but I have a feeling that I am going to need to exercise my faith this year.  I will be constantly reminding myself to CHOOSE the things that are going to make me the happiest.

I will be catching up the blog with all the recent happenings so stay tuned.
