Happy New Year!
Just between you and me, this Mama is thrilled to see 2009 over and a bright and fresh new year here and ready for us to live it.
What can I say? 2009 wasn't spectacular. There were many struggles and issues going on in our lives. Not that we don't have any more struggles or issues (let's face it, with MY attitude problem there is ALWAYS an issue) but somehow I think 2010 will be a wonderful year.
I'm reflective and pensive today, remembering one year ago today when
I hit rock bottom. We rang in 2009 to the blips and lights of monitors in the hospital with our sick three week old baby girl. We were day four into Lil Chick's hospital stay and I completely lost it.
It STILL makes me cry to think about it.
I cry EVERY TIME I read that post.
That post needed to be written. It was how I dealt with the overwhelming circumstances and the flood of thoughts and emotions pouring over and through me. I sobbed as I wrote it, knowing full well I looked like a crazy woman with tears spilling onto the keyboard.
Strangely, It's my favorite blog post of 2009.
