Tis the end of the year as we know it..

Well my friends I want to take this time to wish you all a Happy New Year.. I wish you and your family many happy, healthy blessing in this new year. Make it BE everything it can be. How about you, did you set any new years resolutions? I am not doing it this year. Why you ask? I have great expectations to keep the resolutions, but by January 15th (ha) I have forgotten them. I know, its sad but as I have said in the past life just happens.. So this year, I am turning over a new leaf. I am determining that in 2010 instead of a resi, I will try and keep a "word" through out the year (thanks Ali Edwards).

My word this year is: PEACE. I want to become more peaceful in my day to day life. In the word PEACE , many thoughts are conjured up. As websters defines peace- n. a state of tranquillity or quiet, freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions, harmony in personal relations, a state or period of mutual concord between governments, a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity and used interjectionally to ask for silence or calm.

This is just my life in a nutshell. I need to find peace in my household with 2 very active and rambunctious boys, a very hectic work and school schedule, not to mention we are in the throngs of Basketball season with the boys and my hubby. Teaching Marine Biology in preparation for the field experience in the Bahamas and basically never having enough time in the day. I have lost that inner peace in my heart and soul. I want the peace to quiet the oppressive thoughts on not being good enough, smart enough, healthy enough and I want the peace to stop the worrying that goes along with being a working full time mom and wife who is getting her masters in nursing, taking care of a mom who is plagued with MS and is on a downhill slope, monitoring a dad who has had a heartattack and 2 failed marriages, a brother who means well but just isn't motivated and trying to BE everything for every body. That sounds exhausting just typing it. This is why I need PEACE in my life.. What do you need in yours?

May God Bless all who reads this and give you PEACE, hope, happiness and love in your life now and in the upcoming 2010 year.

Until the next time,

PEACE out.. Lori
