Another Year Older, Another Year Wiser

It's official.  I'm now closer to 40 than to 30.  Can't say I'm loving that but age is just a number, right?  RIGHT?  Although I guess that doesn't make me feel much better, even if it is just a number since there are many days I feel like a ninety year old woman lately.

Anyway, so while I've got the aging part down, I'm still working on the wiser.  I'd like to think I've grown as a person over the past year.  While I have to admit that my temper, stubbornness and pessimistic side still get the best of me now and then, I'm tying to engage in less negativity, choose the people around me wisely and know when to walk away from things.  I'm trying to keep the bigger picture in focus and let go of the menial things that get in the way.  Even though it isn't always easy, my friends are helping me put and keep things in perspective as I'm watching them fight the bigger battles with cancer. 

While I'm not one for making resolutions or setting big goals, my wish for the coming year is the same as it always is.  I wish that my family remains healthy, we find happiness in our daily lives, and continue to grow both as a family and individuals.
