Ringing in the New, 2011

This morning shines a new light through my window.

Thoughts of the opportunities of the new year flood in with it.

A smile crosses my face as our 7-yr-old son announces that he fell asleep 8 minutes before the ball dropped.

Our 9-yr-old daughter is sleeping the morning away.  She had asked to go home last night because she was so tired.

Today is the day to look at the calendar and prepare this month's activities and begin planning.

While I live today, I still plan some things.  One cannot disengage from life and just let it happen.

I am choosing to engage in my and the kids' lives and to make the best out of the opportunities that each day brings.

I am choosing to live life as fully as I can while not overwhelming myself with too much on my plate.

While I know that the year will not be without bumps in the road, I am confident that my recovery and my life will be further advanced in this New Year.

I am confident that the children will continue in their recovery, too, though they know not yet what that is.

I am looking forward to what this New Year will bring!
