A New Year

The new year started with a lot of family reunions for Van and I mostly with his side of the family.  While it disrupted intended plans it will always be something I'm grateful for.  Our families are so important to us and we love all of them...

Life will be different when returning home...the chiropractic office is officially gone.  We can never go back to what was and life will never again be the same. It's another chapter of my past life that is now closed.  It's bittersweet as that practice made my life today possible.  It provided well for our family and we worked hard at making it go right.  While life dealt us a crappie hand...the future is still before those of us who remain.  And it demands that we continue to create and make things go right. 

As a result, I am still faced with solving problems related to priorities.  What is now the most important areas to put my attention on?  What do I want out of my remaining years? I feel rushed to live my bucket list as my time might run out too soon as well.  Maybe that feeling will subside with time...I really don't know.  For now I am trying to create a healthy happy balanced future for myself.  It will never again be as it was...but it can also be better if I intend it to be so.

So my resolution for this year is to live life to the fullest...to travel and have experiences that make me smile everyday.  I also intend to spend time with friends and family and to nurture my new relationships as well.  I hope that 2017 is truly a good year for all.

Happy New Year and don't forget to enjoy the moment no matter what life hands you for this too shall pass.
