Don’t you just love new beginnings?  In relationships, it’s always refreshing, looking forward to spending time with that new person in your life, what you will talk about as you all get to know one another better.  When you discover that you are ready to take the relationship to the next level.  The feeling of putting on new clothing for the first time, that brand new hairstyle that you just spent $125 on (that’s the most I ever spent), when flowers bloom, driving your new vehicle for the first time.  I was so ready for the new year, 2012 was a year of challenges for me.  We are settled, the move is over and it almost feels like it was a bad dream.  Almost….

I don’t set resolutions anymore, I just try to keep working on my goals and always trying to improve me…Whitney.  You would think that at my age, I wouldn’t need to improve much.  I’m always working on making me better, keeping my sanity without taking anyone out (truth for real).  Instead on focusing on what didn’t go right, I’m gonna list a few things that did work in my favor ~  I stopped putting chemicals in my hair and cut it all off, I got married and turned 50.  I am raising two amazing young women, they are good students and try very hard to make me proud of them.  I am very proud of my girls, I love them so much.

I also discovered that I can write stories about my life that people relate to, whether good, bad, funny or whatever.  I love blogging, I’ve met some beautiful women in the world of blogging and I’m beginning to see opportunities come my way.  This week I was featured as a favorite blog post on Parent Society’s Mommy Blog Hot List, their six favorite posts of the week.  To be honest, I have never heard of them, but the sight is for mom’s and building a great community.   I plan to attend at least one blogging conference this year.

I shared this last year, it’s wonderful and an alternative to New Year’s Resolutions.  It’s actually a greeting card that I purchased to send out to my closest friends.  I’m gonna have it framed, and put it right above my desk in my office…the Kitty Room as my husband calls it.  Let me know what you all think.  Thanks for your support, I truly appreciate everyone.  Have a good weekend!
