I believe...

in love and hope,

in jammimg out by yourself in the car.

I believe in having someone tell you 

You're Beautiful,

dancing in the rain and miracles.

I believe in smiling until your cheeks hurt

and laughing until you cry.

New Year's is full or resolutions (most of which will be broke by Valentines Day) and people hoping to renew themself and cleanse their sole of last year's garbage..but really...why should it take new year to for us to realize and accept our wrongdoings and rediscover ways to better our everyday lives.  I prefer to reflect more regularly than once a year on new years.  I prefer to cleanse the toxic people and experiences from my life regularly (more like daily!).  

When you stop believing in yourself is when you will fall for anything.  When you let your guard down and allow your walls to soften you risk invasion from those that pray on the weak....those that find pleasure in other's pain.  Don't be that person!  Keep your walls strong and your face forward-and not only at New Years, but throughout the rest of the year as well.

My other half has now been gone for  5 weeks, and while it seems sometimes like the days are dragging it really has flown by!  It really feel like just yesterday I was dropping him off and shielding my child from seeing my own tears only to watch his fall instead.  I discover something new everyday about my son that amazes me and brings constant joy to my life.  His quirks and actions are something that you would read about in a book just to say "that really didnt happen"...

Yes, it happened!

Until next time remember to keep your chin up, your face looking forwards, and a smile on your face.

(ok, so making that is a pep talk for myself--but you can follow it as well if you would like!)
