Looking back on 2013….

Can you believe we at the end of holiday season?  Where did it go?
This was such a different year for us as a family, and me in particular for the holidays.  I was very low key, almost apathetic…better than the manic, out of control Sandy of old….I am confident I will find the middle ground next year.
I don’t think there are many of you who follow my blog that don’t know what a rough year 2013 was for me personally.  I am seeing a wonderful psychologist every week, and it is amazing the breakthroughs that I am making in understanding who I am.  These two thoughts represent my change of thinking, of being…. s-l-o-w-l-y but surely the realization that I can be OK and have a good life is becoming a reality.

How I felt before….injured, scarred and bleeding most times….


And how I am looking at life now…..



I am strong!  I am still breathing!  I told my doctor that it just isn’t enough to “survive” life anymore, I want to live it and be OK! 
And so….I leave this year with a lot of thoughts and feelings not necessary to bring with me into 2014…..I like these thoughts below better!







And one last thought…..perhaps the best…..



Happy New Year my friends!!!!  I am so looking forward to what 2014 brings our blogging community. :):)
