Well as I continue to remind myself what was this past year. 2013 saw so many things as per usual, hard to really take it all in but I am starting to look around at things and go wow a lot went on. Probably one of the biggest changes was my Uncle Rick. He left us this year and it was and still is one of those things that keeps popping into my mind. It was his passing that has made me take some further stock in what and who I am. At his funeral it made me realize I need to change and with that I need to change certain things. I have started, there are things in motion which when they come to rest we will see what happens. But the biggest thing was to take on a different attitude towards myself. I found a bit of light that I think had faded over the years, it is now coming back slowly and starting to shine a little brighter. That is what loosing my Uncle has done for me, as usual he was always a person to make you think and reflect. He did it again. I thank him for that and for the many other things and memories I have from him.
Another big change was sending our daughter off to school. What a strange event, not tears not sadness just a realization that she is a person that has grown into a great young adult. I really think that she impresses me so much each time I turn around. I am looking forward to having her home for the holidays. I know her energy and laugh will be something to stir up the house again. Makes me proud.
The young man has also changed, I have not failed to notice that our eyes are just about on the level. Hard to think that he was a little guy that I picked up and could carry around. Now I think he could maybe do that to me. Makes me laugh. That and with his sister gone we outnumber the girls in the house.
Well change comes whether we like it or not, there is always that momentum. I remember a saying a friend had on her living room wall. You can't change the wind but you can adjust your sails.
See what waters we will find in the year that is coming!
Some broken bells....not silver
