A Year Later, Just Me

Morning Folks!
So today marks a year. I am surely amazed at how time flies. I am delighted to say that I have gotten through this year without harming anyone. I made it my business to be bigger and better.
I Thank God I didn't settle for less.  I am stronger. After feeling dumb and falling for the okie doke, the rude awakening of not being in a long term relationship isn't as disappointing. See, Carly had to realize that she was holding on to something that wasn't for her... had to realize that she enjoyed falling in love with the idea of the person he could be.  Yea it's disheartening that he didn't and wasn't the man she knew and hoped he would be. Nevertheless, everything happens for a reason.
Now it's still mind- boggling, but I strive to rise above trying to answer why. I strive to not let the pain creep and the angry seep. I rise! (In my Maya Angelou voice)
Thinking of today, my sister is celebrating her 2yr anniversary with her love. (Congratulations Janee' and Josh!!) This keeps me uplifted and lets me know that relationships can be made and love isn't lost. Taking it 1 step deeper,  just waking up is a friendly reminder that God is love and with Him in my heart, there is nothing greater!!!!
Saying bye baby... bye to those 11 years. Lesson learned.

December, I Remember...

Time surely flies. It's already December. My brother, nieces and nephews are growing before my eyes. I have a new niece. For the past few days, the weather reminded me of warmer Spring days.  I remember when December brought snowy, windy weather. I digress.
Reflecting on this year, I realize it has been trying, a year of adjusting; a year where I have been put to the test. I look forward to striving to better myself. December, I remember (just last year)  feeling blue, uncertain, torn, and confused. Now, I feel stronger and ready to break out!!!

The Journey

Greetings!
I hate that I haven't posted in a while. Nevertheless, I'm happy to play catch up. So, the newest addition to my family is my niece Journey Simone'! I am happy to say that I witnessed her birth. Her mother and father are blessed.
Now that she is two weeks old, it's interesting to watch her play sleep, hear her cry. I've  even had the pleasure of having her pee on my leg (lol). I love her though. Looking forward to watching her grow up.
Love my piglet! Welcome Journey Simone'!!!!
