Howdy Stranger

Welcome 2011 - it's so lovely to meet you, I do hope we can be great friends...

Unlike your predecessor 2010 who was, well lets just say no less than a Caring Understanding Nice Type...  yes that's right ladies and gentlemen, I was less than impressed by what transpired during 2010 but now to completely negate that statement, I do try very hard to live without regret and to see the lesson within hardships and heartache as it helps to shape and teach me to be the person I am today.

In a plan (not a NYR) to create more positiveness, gratitude and calm in my life I am going to have a red hot go at blogging everyday - even if it's just a photo or a saying but I want to commit myself to having a set plan to STOP (hammer time) and take stock, reflect on what the day has brought to me and basically give thanks.

I have always had the ability to create more of what I feel. And lately that, well I felt like shit !!!  And wouldn't you know it, a whole heap of shit is exactly what life threw at me !#@$!  So to embrace one of my favourite sayings :

You can not change people or situations,
You can only change how you react to them.

I am going to change MY view, my mindset, my habits.


Because sitting in the corner being a sad sack, letting my depression suck me under, is not exactly what I had in mind for a 2011 game plan !

So Jan 1 2011 : I admit it's ironic in my first steps towards a brighter and better life not only for myself but in turn for my family, the owner of this tiny little foot and it's partner in crime both took their 1st steps as upright and vertical beings! 

The elation, the pride and warmth at such a milestone is wonderful enough and something I will hold and cherish throughout the year, but I am also eternally grateful that not only did both my babies choose the same day to achieve this, but that my hubby was home and there to share as well {happy sigh}

Mind you, only moments later the dynamic duo then turned their hand at climbing - of which I am none to happy about!  LOL 

Well this marks the start to what I will make an amazing year.  I wish you and your loved ones much peace, joy, love, health and happiness in the year to come xox
