Reflecting



Funny how this time of the year so many people are doing what I am today.

Reflecting.

Looking at what we have allowed life to throw at us, give us, take away from us.
Again I say allow life to do.
It's all in our attitude, so they say.

This is a new year.
So a new attitude needs to apply.

ummmmmmm, yeah!
I'll be the first to agree, I need an attitude adjustment.
I am everyday praying for an adjustment so I can handle what is put in front of me to deal with.

It gets real hard sometimes, reflecting over the past year.

Conceding to ending my marriage.

A stern kick in the butt with possible termination from a company mistake I made in the privacy of my own home, off the clock, in dealing with a friend of 6 yrs who admitted her mistakes to me.
(I wouldn't rat her out, I forced her to turn herself in after consulting w/a pastor)
found out can't get counsel from someone you can trust not to say anything.

Another stern kick in the butt with possible termination from a company mistake I made off the clock giving a piece of advice stating they needed to use their own discretion in the matter. They made the mistake, I got wrote up. Go Figure.

It's hard also because I find myself getting closer to one of my daughters and feeling a want and need to be even closer from both sides but so far away in miles.

I am going to focus on a new foot, new attitude at work so I can make a move with a job to a closer proximity of family.
Got to get busy on the knees for help from above.

I know there is a better plan for me on this earth in this lifetime.

I am thankful over the past year for all the different sites that have so many words of wisdom to share.
I do try to absorb some of this wisdom.
Even though, I don't always leave marks behind, I am visiting so many through others, I can't thank you all enough for the smiles you have put on my face and yes, even the tears, the convictions that I have had on some of my own stupidity thru some other statements.
I don't take offense, I just contemplate...lol..maybe even delete.
I so wish sometimes there was a delete button for incidents in our lives.
Ooops, but we do, don't we, thru the Lord.
I just have to remember, the past is the past.
It's over.

yeah, okay
bring it on
2008

Actually, I am kind of excited about what is ahead from here.

Actually right now, all I want is to feel better,
been real yucky for about a week.

Got to go start a new year off at work,now.
did someone call this a holiday?

Ah, it is that time of year, LadyDi. We all tend to take stock and resolve to do different.
Reflect and resolve.

As one who tends to hang on to things she needs to let go of and lets go of things she needs to hang on to--practice makes perfect.
Sometime's I convince myself I'd rather be 'right' than be 'happy'. And sometimes 'right' comes with an uncomfortable price, too.

I still trudge.
A day at a time, doing the bestest I can TODAY to keep the resolve and persevere.

Persevere--a day at a time, great things will come to happen.
