and so it begins....

I've been a very unhappy person for a very long time.  Honestly, I'm sick and tired of it.  This life has provided me with infinite blessings and I need to take a step back and enjoy them.  I am starting today.  First, gone are the bad attitudes, looking for the negatives, and cynical approaches.  I am going to start setting positive goals for myself instead of just muddling through life day to day.  I am going to live each day, not just make it through.

Not only do I need to improve things for myself, I need to improve them for others as well.  I want to be the kind of friend that I would like to have.  Instead of picking people apart for all of their shortcomings, I would like to be able to appreciate all that is good in them.  I want to be a better mom, wife, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend.  I want to let all of the people in my life know just how important they are to me.

My short term goal is to put away the kitchen.  All of my cabinets are finally in place.  They are beautiful and I am going to fill them with the contents of the boxes that have been littering the kids playroom.

Each new adventure must have a place to start.  Here is mine.
