2010 A New Year February 12, 2010

It has been awhile since I have been on here.  I admit that things have been busy, and being pulled in all different directions.  Family, moving, trying to get A Treasured Pic up and running, and appointments all keep a person busy.

I never imaged how hard it would be to get a business up and running.  There is a lot of background work that it takes to get it off the ground.  Right now, I am very grateful that I still have my therapy support team supporting me through this very rough ordeal.  Reminding me where my focus should be, and where it shouldn’t be.  As I have lost focus a few times briefly.  But with my injuries, my stubborn dutch/irish blood running through me, and very strong work ethic it is bound to happen from time to time.

Life is never straight forward.  There is always bends, curves in the roads.  There is also hills and mountains that sometimes appear in the path of life as well.  But we have the ability to choose how we are going to handle those challenges in life.  Some are handle with grace and ease, but others are a challenge and can make us bend our knees and want to walk away.  But that is were the choice lies, we can continue to fight to see the light of a better day, or we can simply give up and walk away.

Even though I have been told that I am the least stubborn one out of my family, that stubbornness is still there and shows up in different ways.  As my therapist would agree at this point, since I am positive they have really gotten to understand what really drives me over the last few months.  Which is good, for me because they can help redirect me back to where I need to be when I temporarily get lost.

I am hoping that 2010 will be a better year.  I am hoping that there will be smoother bends and smooth hills or mountains to climb then 2009 was.  But when challenges arise in 2010, I hope that I will be able to remember to stay focused on what my priorities are: family, health, and love, and oh yeah, myself. lol’s  If I can remember those things then I should be able to make the choices that will suit us the best and aim for that light.  For I do not want to turn my back on life, or my dreams.
