Hello everyone! I am going to try very hard to be back posting most days. I have really missed my Dis friends.
Today is my birthday so I thought this would be a good day to review this past year.
Health
The main reason I began this thread is to get my health back on track. I feel I have been successful this past year in this respect. I have completed two 1/2 marathons, with better time on each one. One 10K and several 5Ks. I can now walk 4-6 miles like it is nothing, yet get a good work out. I have danced in my first ever dance recital and lived to tell about it. I enjoyed myself so much that I couldn't imagine not having dance in my weekly routine. I am much more conscience of what I eat and how much. I'm not perfect (this weekend is a perfect example of that), but I do think and try. I went to a chiropractor who has done a lot to help reduce my headaches. I am also trying to reduce the stress in my life which I now realize was affecting my health.
I have been successful in working on my health.
My Mother
After all we went through, Gram now lives with me. It is not a perfect situation by any means, but she is in a safe place and doesn't have the worrys she did before. Also, she is not sick all the time like she used to be.
We have been successful here also.
Monetary issues
Well, two out of three isn't bad. I have worked very hard on this all year and felt like I was fighting a losing battle. I do realize that I have made significant changes, just not the big ones I had hoped for. I wouldn't call the financial year a failure, but I could have been more successful.
Family
Everyone is good with the family. Both children are doing good in school.
DD is still dancing and I was very proud when she wanted to do something new and try hip hop. She wanted to quit almost immediatly, but I told her she had to give it a chance and now she loves it. She was very intimidated by the older kids in the class at first.
DS is doing much better in school this year and has had a busy year sports wise. He was on the swim team and then soccer team. Now he is signed up for the golf team. He has a job which he loves.
Oldest DS is finally realizing he is an adult and his future depends on himself. He actually thanked me one day for kicking him out a couple years ago. He now realizes why I did it and it has made him grow as a person and an adult. He has set backs occasionally but is finding his way.
I am very proud of all three of my children.
