Most people don't like to make New Year's resolutions because they don't seem to keep them more than 30 days. I am going to try to defy these odds. Last year, although we had many blessings, I found myself sad. Partly because I have gone off the Pristiq, partly because I have been doing a lot of self evaluation. But through it all, I have had a relationship with Christ. He is the only one who has given me strength in my weakest moments. And, as Clif and I were on our way to the west end of Orange County for a long bike ride through the rolling hills of Clermont, I had an "aha" moment. Nothing new for many people, but something new for me. Something to hold me accountable. I decided I would blog something I am genuinely grateful for each of the 365 days of 2012.
So here goes for Jan 1. I am grateful that Clif helped me prepare for our Game Night party we are having tonight. What ordinarily takes me all day to do was done in 2 hours. This not only included the cleaning, but the cooking as well. It was so wonderful to have him next to me in the kitchen wrapping the lil smokies in the cresant rolls, then dicing up vegetables for the veggie pizza. I actually have time to sit down and relax before the guests arrive. :)
