2020 is officially over and guess what? WE MADE IT! I did not wait up until midnight to ring in the New Year, but I fell asleep on December 31, 2020 with a sense of accomplishment and I also fell asleep a different person than I had one year prior. I remember ringing in the 2020 with my family and my best friends saying that the year would for sure be better than the previous year. I had just resigned from my full-time job, excited to be able to focus more on my family. I was three months away from heading to China to bring my new son home to our family. My children were excited to spend more time with their mother and hope was in the air.
Not the Destination...
All the laundry was folded, the kitchen was clean (enough for me), and there was nothing left for me to work on. Tara was watching Christmas movies, the kids were entertaining themselves, and I wasn’t sure what to do next.
“It’s Gonna Be Ok!” While I was driving in my car yesterday, I heard these words on the radio. About a week ago, after going to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, I decided to change my radio station from country music to Christian music. I realized that swearing had become commonplace in my life and I wondered if it was because of the music I was listening to. Many of the songs on the radio had small swear words in them and I think my mind went numb to them.
