As I reflect back over 2014, I want to talk about some of my favorite memories. I saw a sign recently that said sweet tea served here. It triggered a good memory from my childhood. My grandmother being a southern belle made the best sweet tea ever. I was raised on sweet tea and the secret to make that great sweet tea has been passed down through the generations. This memory triggered other good memories of the south. I have practiced replacing bad memories with those feel good memories. Those memories are a great way to bring a smile to my face.
So if I had to pick a great memory from this year it was my trip to Charleston SC. My heart belongs to Charleston. I love the southern charm, the warm coastal breeze, palm trees and the art culture that belongs to historic Charleston. I was meant to live in the south and I am not going to let go of the possibility that some day I may live in Charleston.
For now I will embrace living in the north in my home with my big front porch and big pillars that adorn the house. That front porch is what caught my eye when I was looking for a home. It had that southern feel to it. For now the porch will remind me of how I long to live in the south and more trips to Charleston are on my calendar.
This year will end with a peaceful mind, an abundance of love for my husband, family, friends and a spoiled dog named Laney.
Next year will be a new adventure filled with living life to its fullest and moving forward to making all my dreams come true.
I hear fireworks in the distance and I toast the past goodbye and welcome a beautiful New Year !! Look out 2015 here I come !!!
Elizabeth:)
