A New Year

January 23 2013.  It is only 4 days from the first anniversary of the death of my middle brother.  This sure has been a roller coaster of a ride this past year.  I thought this year would be better after how last year started for me, but no.  My husband was hit new years eve and we just got the check for our vehicle that was totaled.  This only after fighting with the insurance company and my own attorney.  I go to the doctor to finally find out why I have low pack pain and what I can do about it.  I find out that I have arthritis in my back so as far as I can take the pain I am to push through and exercise.  So I am doing some jogging with other things I can do here at home.  I find out, as I need to contact my mother, that she has changed her phone numbers so I cannot contact her.  It just keeps getting harder to continue, but continue I will.  There have been a couple of days that I just felt as though my world was collapsing in on me!  I know this is an attack to get me to quit and give up.  That has been my way for so long, but as I walk through this with a renewed mind I am buckling down and trudging forward. I am so ready for some sunshine and warmth to help get my spirits up as well.  As i trudge forward and try to stay focused on my savior and the wonderful blessings he sends me each and every day I challenge you to do the same.  I know how hard it is to do this but I am also experiencing how rewarding it is to keep going.
