Speachless

I have found myself speachless the last couple of days.  As, some things way heavy on the heart. It has been a week to reflect back on a difficult year.  I have been trying to change some old routines and purge my life of old ways. I am trying to move forward and let new people and new things into my life. I have had a lot of time to think of how sometimes it is hard to let go of the old and enjoy yourself.  I have come to realize that I am the only one who can decide on my own happiness.  Life does not wait for us to be happy.  We decide to be happy each day.

I started my week off with the notion that it was going to be a good week, so far that notion has paid off.  I have actually been outside walking with Laney as once again we are having beautiful weather for December.  I also have had lunch with a dear friend and talked about good times in the future. I spent time to bless all people in my life that have been supportive of me and my family the last couple of years. Some of them are close by and some of them are many miles away. And of course, I am thankful that my husband and Laney are always a part of my happiness.

This week of December is a week to remember my mother and mother-in-law as they both were born in December. How ironic it is to think that they both passed away in the month of May. It has been eight years since my mother passed and six since my mother-in law passed. I sometimes wonder what they would have thought of Laney. I believe she would have brought great joy to their lives.  Life is beautiful with my  four legged friend!!
