It's here

It's here- the new year!

It wasn't anything special in my house. I went to bed a little past the normal time and briefly woke to the sound of fireworks at midnight. Exciting huh? The new year just slid into place, exactly as it should.

I do have a new attitude though. I am tired of living in fear that something horrible is going to happen. It seems as if I have been holding my breath my entire life. How stupid is that? Granted not so nice things have happened to me, but so far I have survived.

I have all that I need; a comfortable home, food, clothes, friends, fairly good health and enough funds to take care of anything that comes up.

There is only one thing I need to work on and that is eliminating the fear that is keeping me from believing that everything is going to be just fine.

When I remember all I have survived so far it is ridiculous to spend my time worrying about what might happen in the future. I have lived through a smorgasbord of experiences that would make some souls crumble and I am still hanging on.   

The new year is here and with it comes a new chance to stop fearing things that may never happen and spend my life enjoying that I have one.
