So far, it has been a happy new year. That shouldn't be surprising. Everyone tells you to be happy about it. But this year, for the first time in a long time, I really feel happy. I am encouraged about the start of a new year, and I really think it will be better than the last.
I'm not sure why I feel happy about the new year. Usually New Year's Eve finds me weeping over all the things that went awry over the year, and bedding a sad farewell to the things I dreamed would happen. But this year - not so much. Could it be that I am at peace with living with my dad and caring for him? Could it be that we hung out in our Christmas jammies all day? Could it be the joy from seeing my two oldest boys serving missions? Could it be that I am figuring out that I am better than I thought I was? Could it be that my relationship with my husband is better than it has been in years? Could it be that I didn't drink the eggnog that I accidentally let go sour (what a waste!)? I'll let go of the why and just be happy for my new year.
I think it will be a great one!
