It's My Birthday

yep.

I'm thankful for every one God grants me.

It's a little bit sad this year since both of the boys are not with me. But this is my new reality.

I saw a "life coach" on CNN last night and she was actually talking about the economy and how to "get over it." She said a couple things that resonated with me....

1) Take this opportunity to re-invent yourself. Let go of the old, become something new. And she said one of my favorite quotes: "It's never too late to become what you might have been."

2) Don't ask how bad it can be; ask how good you could make it.

So, starting today, I'm going to reinvent parts of myself. I like some parts of me and don't want to change them. But those parts that aren't working so great for me? I'm reinventing those.

And I'm going to see how good I can make my life, instead of focusing on anything bad.

This is MY New Year's Day.

Happy Birthday!

Happy New Year!!
