The First Day of a New Year, making changes in your life and adapting to changes in your life

On Thursday, Krystina's father and brother arrived for a little Derek time and a little Krystina time.  Her Daddy misses his little girl, but not as much as Derek will miss Styna this week before his surgery on Friday.  I see the change in him when she is not around.  As for Krystina and Michael, well, she is 20 and he is 13, so I don't think they miss much more than battling with one another!  They were present for my meltdown over the idiot residient who thinks he is an MDiety.  I am feeling much better now.  After discussing it with several attendings and being told that I was on the right track, when I get to his attending on Tuesday, God help her.


We celebrated last night by laying low in the room and being peaceful.  We were either reading, on the ipad or watching tv. 

At midnight, our nurse shared some sparking cider with us and then it really got crazy!




It was fun, as much as it can be under the circumstances. 

So, what has changed in your life over the past twelve months?  How is your life different?  Is it exactly the same?  Are you with the same man or woman?    Is this the man or woman who you would want to be with?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  What can you do to change that?  What can you do to make what you want come to fruition? 

Take the first couple of steps necessary to make positive steps in your life today.

If you are in a situation were you need to adapt to it for the time being, ask yourself why?  If it is temporary to assist a loved one, then make the best of it and help to the best of your ability.  If it is permanent, then make arrangements so that your needs are also met.  You cannot have your needs neglected.

God bless you and yours in this new and promising year!

Today, Derek started his new year by sleeping because he stayed up all night watching movies with Krystina and Sean, so I cleaned out the room!  It was a quiet day.

No matter how big that mountain, no matter how rocky, no matter how insurmountable any obstacle many seem, hang on, grab whatever you need, and keep climbing, all the way, to the top.... Climb to glory!  I'll meet you there.  With a glass of your favorite tasty beverage.

    That is GREAT advice. We are learning to balance fierce independence with reaching out for and accepting help.

  2. Wanted to share these comforting words with you! Know that I'm always praying!
    Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

  4. Lifting up prayers right now!
    Matthew 11:28-30: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
