Time flies when you're having...

I can't believe it's already the first of December. I have been blessed in so many ways this year. My daughter came home, my son has grown emotionally as well as physically and my marriage is awesome. I have always been grateful to have Glenn as my husband. We may have a few rocky patches but who doesn't? Seriously, who doesn't. There are no perfect marriages or perfect families.

I used to think my family was the most dysfunctional thing on the planet, but, the more I look around, I realize that we are just NORMAL. Even rich people have messed up lives. I am rich because I have a husband whom I know will NEVER leave me. He's had his chance and chose to stay. No more chances cupcake.

Expanding our family has been a blessing. We are on new, uncharted ground and I'm enjoying the opportunity to map it. Who knows where my life may be in a year. I'm just happy to be where I am today.

I have managed to reconcile a few past rocky relationships and left some to stay in the rubbish pile. I know that God asks me to forgive, but, I'm just not ready to do it. Maybe by next year I can do it. Glenn will not forgive. He has a problem with the level of forgiveness I've doled out already.

I look forward to expanding upon the friendships and relationships I've discovered this year. I plan to try to be a better friend and family member to all.

If you read this, please take a moment to share with me in the comments your best memory of our relationship. Think of it as encouragement of my goals. LOL Yes, I'm a bit low on self-esteem and need to be told I'm loved. But, I find that I love memories and often I forget things that others find to be precious. If you take a moment to share, I'll be sure to share my favorite memory of you.

Merry Christmas. I love every one of you.
