This year has been a blur in so many ways. As I have tried to stay focussed on enjoying time with my family and being in the moment, I still feel like I have missed time. There is always so much happening at once in my life but I couldn't be happier. We all experience moments, days, weeks and possibly months that we pray would pass. We hope for a fresh new year with exciting beginnings.... I could give my mindset control over my mood but I choose to fight it every single day. I have learned so much this year and one valuable lesson that I can apply for years to come is, I can't control everything. I can however choose how things and circumstances affect me. I have taken time to choose peace and happiness this year!

Guess what? It feels great!

I have been blessed in 2018, my family has grown in many ways. We have so much to be thankful for!

I am hopeful for the story s we will continue writing in 2019. I am thrilled for the new adventures and memories I will make with my little family.

Just like anyone I could focus on the handful of "bad days" I experienced this year but instead, I am choosing to forget them and only remember a spectacularly great year. I am full of love and ready to jump into my next Chapter!

I pray you can also reflect on your blessings and move forward in grace.
