to give I am so happy to start a new year because 2010 was such a testing time. I practically lived in the hospital with my husband, while he was waiting 9 months to get a matching heart for a heart transplant. I have a greater appreciation for him, my family, people, and most importantly myself. I have broken down so many times last year, in fear of losing my husband. Last year has shown me how strong I am and that time is of the essence. My attitude towards life has been pretty much blase, but now I thank God for every single second that he allows me to live. I went through a horrible fight with depression-while my husband was suffering physically, I was suffering mentally. Most people would say that they wouldn't change anything in their life because it makes them who they are today. But, to be completely honest I would prefer not to relive that experience of not knowing where my life was going. Sure I built a tougher character, but the pain and depression almost killed me and I'm just proud of myself for getting through it. So, for this new year all I wish is for my health and my families good health. I learned to say "I love you" to family and friends often and to express all the time my feeling towards anyone who means something to me. I even have compassion to strangers, taking caution to be mindful and kind to others. Mostly I've learned to be kind to myself.
So this new year is not to lose 5 pounds or to become a millionaire, but to not be so hard on myself and to be forgiving to myself and people in general. My resolution is to have a positive attitude and to be brave, good values, honor my principles and value my life. I want to be healthy emotionally and mentally and be the best B I can be,
So cheers everyone and be kind to yourself!
XOXO
