New Year!!!

Well its 2012!  And in a lot of ways it's just another day today.  Work was just another busy day, but we got a great sunrise to start off this new year.  I'm not a morning person by nature, but I have to admit to enjoying the sunrise most mornings.  I will also admit to having hope that this year will be better than the last few. I entered 2011 with a new attitude, and fought hard to keep it. I slipped a few times and let sad, depressed, and hopeless get the best of me.  

I want to start 2012 with reminding myself of the really great things in my life. I don't want to dwell on the bad stuff.  I can't ignore it, or make it go away, but I don't have to let it dictate everything about me.  I don't want to sweep it under the carpet either. I sort of want to turn and face it head on and kick its...yeah...you get it!
