My 2010

It was a complete blur... My daughter turned 1, we finally moved into our house. I had an emotional year of confusion and denial. I wasn't happy, I was battling with feelings of doubt and questioning my ability to raise my daughter properly. Life passed me by a lot last year. I was not a good friend and kind of avoided everyone.

I think I grew up a bit, learned to let things go, prayed harder about the things that were really bothering me, learned to trust my husband more and have truly forgiven my mother. I have learned that my brothers care for me and enjoy spending time with their niece.

I thank God that every day is new. The slate is clean to start a new year and make it better than the last. I have to come to accept that things happen for a reason and in the timing that God intended. I hope this year is a happy one for us. I felt like I fought really hard to keep my head above water. But now I am floating on it as a have stopped struggling. I aim to let go this year and turn to God so that I may be able to stand on the water and walk towards him.

I will value each day and walk in the joy that God gives me. I pray that I will never break and fall as hard as I did.

For the friends that I did spend time with. Thank you for putting up with me. For being there and supporting me. I hope this year that I can be there for you. I know this year won't be easy but I hope I'm a stronger person.

I welcome 2011 with open arms, full of hope for a great year!
