Although I cannot say that 2009 was my best year yet, it could have been worse! I could have lost my job or my life... for those two things not happening, I am eternally grateful! Most of the hard lessons of this past year have been as a result of choices made by me.. I am grateful for the principle of free agency and the miracle that my testimony... although weak at times this year...it never truly was lost.
I am ending the year on a definitely brighter mental and physical place than I was 6 months ago. Reflections are necessary because they help me to see more clearly where I have been this past year and where I hope to be a year from now... I am not really sure about the "when" or the "where" my major NEXT step in changing my life will happen.. I do know it will happen this year...Relying on guidance from the Lord is actually a great thing.. it teaches me to be humble and to really "listen" to prompting... my "needs" -not my "wants" are becoming clearer in some ways..
Appreciation for comments.. .many made in an effort to provide me with "tough love" abound. Although I can feel as though I am a deserted island unto myself, I know that there are family members and friends who enrich my life... if I let them.
I am grateful that my children have found contentment in their lives this past year. I continue to be proud of the adults they have become and look with excitement to what they will accomplish this next year...LOOK OUT WORLD... HERE COME MY KIDS !!!
My love for my parents gets deeper every day. If there were ever two people in this world who love each other and others unconditionally more than they do, I have yet to meet them.
"Trust in the Lord with thine own heart and lean not unto thy own understanding" has always been one of my favorite scriptures, but it has also become my constant focus point. Funny how the scriptures can do that for us...
I look back to see who I was so I can fix or modify who I am in order to become who I am meant to be... 2010... READY OR NOT... HERE I COME!!
