The natural course with living things is you are either "growing or dying". The same concept applies with people. You are either growing or you are dying, in relationships, in your spiritual walk, in your physcial bodies.
So with that being said I look back and see what has happened in the last year. Am I growing or am I dying.
I started going for counselling last year to help me become a better person. I feel so much better about my relationships this year and about myself since going for counselling
I feel I have grown in my relationships I have rid myself of the majority of the negative people in my life. LOL some of them dumped me, lol but thats even better. I have mended some relationships that were broken last year and although they are not where they once were, they are where I want them to be at this time!
My relationship with my children: I am trying to be more patient with my children. To be more loving. To create more memories to leave a legacy for my children and my grandchildren. I want them to remember me for my FAITH and for FUN times. I started to take my grandchildren out for one on one time for their birthdays and plan to keep that special day continue into adulthood. I would like to be the proverbs 31 woman....well except for the sewing and the mending and the getting up early and making breakfast. LOL
I am blessed to have the REVEREND as my husband. We have had many challenges over the years but through each challenge we grow stronger. Sometimes it feels like we are just hanging on, BUT we are hanging on to each other and to GOD and thats what keeps us going.
Spiritually : I love my LORD! with all my heart soul strength and mind! As with any relationship there are always ebbs and flows. It takes work.
physically....oh my....although I work harder on that than many other things I get discouraged. I feel great in the fact that I am physically active but the weight loss battle is always a challenge. I think I am probably healthier than i have ever been though. Between seeing a naturopath, cutting out sugar and white flour, and exercising, trying new things like hot yoga as well as Zumba I am doing all that I can. I am proud of my efforts.
REGRETS to quote Frank Sinatra I have a few but then again too few to mention. LOL
My biggest regrets are wishing the time would move faster while raising Ryan and Chrisitne. I wanted them to grow up so fast. TIME goes so fast anyway and instead of enjoying each moment i was wishing for the next. With my second family I am wishing the time would go slower. But I have learned I can't control the time either way. I can only control what i do in that time. I can't go back and relive Ryan and Chistines childhood, but I can enjoy every moment i have with them now. and i DO . I love them so much!
I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. To quote one of my wonderful friends Shiona Watson "You get what you give karen - and you give lots of love, laughter and good vibes!!" I think the opposite is true. So many people pour laughter and love into my life and I in return can pour back into the lives of others. .
It makes me think of the verse from the bible vs 1 jn 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
Thank you that you give so much to me so I can give back to others.
