Hello Everyone
I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas. My kids had a wonderful time. When they are happy I am happy. I am looking for a good New Year. It is time to move on...stop worrying about what people think. Take the time out and smell the roses. I feel that I have a lot to accomplish and need to focus on me. My new thing for the new year is:"Leave it in God's hands". I need to stop trying hard to please other people and try and please myself. I think my life is about to take a 360 turn for the better. On the back of our dollar bill it says "In GOD we trust". I have to make it happen. I have to pay attention to the many things that surrounds my life in a whole. Evaluate them and pull out the rotten seed. Hey, It is going to be a very hard journey but it needs to be done. The weight have to be lifted of my shoulder or I will die. I don't know what I will do or how I will plan this but I will "What". "Leave it in God's hands". I think school is a plus for me and if I can complete one goal another will follow.
Everyone have a pleasant New Year and be safe and "Leave it in God's hands".

Hi, Kathyann. I really like your post. It is so good to open up. I'm sure most people can relate to how you feel. It is so easy for us to wat to nurture everyone and try to please everyone around us. This is our nature as women and mothers, I think. Then, we find ourselves drained and worn out. This can also lead to health problems. We have to take time to nurture ourselves as well. I think school is a great way to do this for your mind, but also make sure nurish your physical being as well. I find that when I don't eat healthy I feel I can't cope with things as well. It's so hard to balance it all with all that we have to deal with in today's world! I believe that the message on the back of the dollar bill is very valuable and what our country was built on. I think we as a society need to get back to focusing on morals and ethics, whatever our religious views are. This makes our country strong and makes us strong. I remember one of the toughest times in my life when I jut felt like I could crash! My son had just joined the Navy and 911 happened a few weeks later, my daughter became gravely ill and I was trying to tend to her and hold down a job. Then, my husband asked me for a divorce at this time. He could not handle the stress of the illness, and worse- he thought if she didn't get well she would need nursing care and he was worried about losing his land and things he owned to pay for it. I remember driving home from the hospital and was crying in my car. I was driving up a hill to my home and just screamed out to od that I could not handle any more and I really needed him to help me before I totally broke. A sense of peace came over me by just handing it over to Him. I should learn to do this on a regular basis, instead of trying to be "super" everything. My daughter did become well and I did get a divorce, but am now glad I am not with someone of such weak character. My life is not easy, but it is better and everyday I thank God for all of the good things. Keep working hard, but just remember you are never alone and there are others that struggle. Opening up and talking is the best medicine. Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family! Wendy Reidt
