Glad It's Over

I'm so glad my "family" is gone, and as far as I'm concerned I don't have a desire to see them ever again. I'm excited to start a new year with a new outlook on life. I have thought about this a lot since they all went back to their homes and, in my mind blood doesn't mean you have to have "family loyalty". While I do believe in second chances, I also believe "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". I've decided I'm not going to let people like that continue to hurt and affect my life. It's not fair to me or my husband. As a result of my meditations my 2018 goals and life changes are as follows:

1. Protect me and my actual family from preventable pain (caused by people who are known to be hurtful and mean)
2. Get a grip on my mental and physical health
3. Continue to pray 
4. Keep up with my scripture journaling
5. Seek out and nourish healthy relationships in my life
6. Go to church every Sunday
7. Read something for my betterment

2017 was a difficult year for my husband and me, we had several family issues (issues of anger, strain and health scares). We're both excited to start anew and push through. We have and will continue to stand by one another and I'm hopeful that this year will bring growth and good times with my family to create great memories.

How was your holiday? What are your new goals? Remember YOU are important, take care of yourself.
