Here we are the last day of 2008. For us it was a rather crazy year full of ups and downs. Most of which were not shared here on my blog, mainly due to the fact it was to hard to write about. The last year has left me with many learning experiences good and bad in my personal life as well as the way I parent.
I sit and wonder if I could do it over again what would I change? On one hand everything on the other hand just that I would have slept more so I could handle the stresses better. I know I would not be the mom I am today had I not been faced and conquered everything that I did over the last year, well over my life time.
As the year ends this evening, I sit reflecting on what has happened, and what I can do to change as 2009 begins tomorrow. I do realize that the big thing is mainly loosing my temper to fast. Not my strongest moments.
The other thing I am going to work on is not stressing on things I have No control over, I often do this. I ask my self after its over ‘Why should I have done that I my stress and worry over that did nothing except make me in a bad mood’.
So As I say good buy to 2008 I also hope to leave these two negative behaviors behind with it. They got worse in 2008 so I am going to leave them here.
The Good times included fun trip to Seattle, many trips to see my parents, fun family home evenings, baking with the kids, teaching them to cook, family dinners, and taking time for Me. These are some of the things I plan on holding on to and taking with us in to 2009. So the year was Not all bad.
What are you taking from 2008 to 2009 with you?

My year 2008 was full of ups and downs, too. It was a rocky road for me but good thing I still managed to survive and regain hope. Actually, I’m now remembering the good and bad times that happened in year 2008 and now writing them all down in my diary. I’m all alone here in my apartment and spent the New Year alone so I have nothing to do but to recall the things that happened in the past year. I hope year 2009 will be joyous and peaceful for all of us.
Great post! I am taking with me that I no matter what happens, God will take care of us. I’ve always known this but sometimes you just need a reminder. I look forward to 2009 and will try not to stress out about things I can’t control either. lol!
