At the closing of 2007 I sat quietly as I watched the fireworks on tv. I thought about all the things I have done in the past years. I went to dinner with my wife last night and we had a nice dinner and a great conversation about things...she is truly wonderful. The one thing that I realize about myself from all those years past is that the person that made that promise to my wife was a broken person. I was not the person that I was when I was younger, but that has changed in my life. I have taken those broken pieces of me and glued them back together. It will take a while for that glue to dry, but it is there. Now my biggest challenge is to make sure that I do not push on the outer edges of myself. I know my wife loves me and really wants me back in her life and I know that she is scared that I will go back to the way that I was before, do I blame her, no. She is a wonderful woman that put up with a lot of things from me and she feels that I have lost respect for her. The old me probably did but the new me (2008 me) realizes how much I love her. I realize how wonderful she is. I realize that she is a great mother, wife, and best friend. I guess what I am trying to say is my New Year's Resolution (one that I am going to keep) is to be the me that everyone likes and wants to be around. The old me, the one when I was younger had lots of fun and was never sad. This was the worst holiday season partly because my wife lost two very special people in her life, and I was not strong enough to be there for her to give her the shoulder that she needed to cry on. So this year is the Year of My Wife!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great New Year!!!!!!! Dragon

Love all of you dragon photo. Your strengths and your weaknesses equally. I so relate to your goal. Accepting self-love will bring home the prize. Good intentions and positive thinking can go a long ways to matching our hopes with our reality. Rejoice in what is possible, wait with joy the gifts to come.
All the very best for you and your family in 2008. |
