Making Strides So Far 2014

        My daughter is doing good every month that goes by, today was her first meeting of "The Fifty Mile Club" a little group after school, who commits to walk.  Her doctor at Children's   told her that it was either that or gym, so she choose the club.  She was so excited about it that she talked my ear off as we drove home which was pretty nice!  She is sticking to her word!
         To be honest, I don't hear much talk anymore about resolutions from people around me, except for one of my co-workers in The Produce Department about giving up smoking.  I was warned about moods swings.   As for me, I don't talk much about resolutions, I just take it "One Day At A Time".  I am a very private person around my department, unless I am asked a question.  We all tease each other and with an exception of three, all of them are my nephews ages.
          Sure, I dream, most of us do, at times I think I am a hopeless dreamer, that is, with everything that has happened to me, I just go through the day with the thought, if it happens that any of my dreams come true, well, that would be a miracle.  I get kinda skeptical. Going to Boston, being an artist there, married to a loving husband, so that my kids could have somewhat of a father figure and I could have a companion...its hard to believe anymore.
          In a small way, I have done my art to be known as an artist, at least locally.  I don't do my artwork much anymore, Just too brokenhearted to continue without much encouragement.  I have beginnings of carpal tunnel.  With advice from my doctor, I wear, support gloves to help ease the pain and numbness .  I get through work pretty good, by the time I come home, I am worn out.

          I remember someone asking me "What about your needs and desires?"  It sounds familiar but somehow, I really don't think it is that important.   That part of me kinda has shut down.  I pray that one day I can feel like it is important again.
