Transitional Month

I have a confession...January is my least favorite month of the year! If you have a birthday in this month and it's your favorite, then I apologize in advance but this is such a transitional month. You go from the hype of Christmas to having to put all of your Christmas decor away, send the kids back off to school and deal with winter illnesses. Nothing really exciting happens this month in our family. Maybe that is God's way of telling me to slow down and enjoy, since it's pretty busy the rest of the year.

In the past month, Mason & Taylor have battled colds, Peyton was diagnosed with RSV, our Adam's car broke down on him on his way to work one morning and I had a double ear infection with both of my eardrums ruptured. I had high hopes for this January being different and I am glad it isn't over yet, to give me time to accomplish what I set out to do.

This has been a good week so far, so I will try not to focus on the negative. If there is one thing I have learned is that you can't live in the past or change it, otherwise you will never grow in the future. So here's to focusing on the wonderful things God has in store for me and our family this month and year!
