No Resolutions

Good evening! Wednesday blog! Happy New Year! Do not start your new year setting yourself up for failure! Some people set such high expectations for themselves! In reality, we do not know what tomorrow holds for us! We are not promised any extra days! Each day is a gift from God! If you want something changed in your life, set a plan in motion for yourself! Know one is going to do it for you! That’s the great part of change, you get the credit, God gives the strength! It’s quite a journey! I know, because my journey started in 2014 with Denny’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s! Walking around whining all the time, like God owed me something! I told my family repeatedly that I would stop gambling! My family soon tired of my lip service with no work on change! I became sick and tired, of being, sick and tired! Since 2014, I started journaling, I am on #7, I am diligent about my time with God! I start early! I banned myself from all casinos, a lifetime ban! I started walking in 2015, I still walk, when time permits! I started a recovery program, with group therapy, with people of all addictions! Sadly we lost 2 from that group to drugs! I have every intention of going back, when the time comes! Jan. 3rd, I will be at 4 years clean! I returned to all of the things I love, my positive go to’s! Baking, sewing, scrapbooking and walking! An old passion I want to return to, is a sports grandma! Of course none of these things would have happened without God! He is my main focus! He taught me, one day at a time! So, pick a passion, or work on changing what you don’t like! Do it all with joy and happiness! These are all choices! You can smile or frown, it’s up to you! Through all of this, I now see and know, God was preparing me to become strong enough, mentally and physically, to take care of my husband, Denny! This January, start with celebrating you and how much God loves you, right where you are! Amen! Good night! God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
