What a Year....

2014 has been a heck of a year.  So much has gone on that the year has flown by and I feel as if I barely blinked.  I wasn't blogging like I should. I just never seemed to have the time for things I typically like to do.  CC and I were able to go on a couple of trips but otherwise remained busy busy busy.  Doing what, I have no idea.

The Son is doing well.  He is working steadily, going to school and is living with his long time girl friend.  I still financially back him quite a bit but attitudinally, he is doing much better and for that I am truly grateful.

Mom and Grandmother are not doing so well.  My grandmother has been placed in a home and my mother has had several hospitalizations and still keeps beating the odds.  Lots of flights and long driving trips up each time.  My father just had a knee replaced. It's been stressful.

So, with all of that under my belt, I am hopeful for 2015.  I want to make the most of each year.  Seeing my grandmother and mother both ill brings mortality home on a personal level.  I vow to slow down, smell the roses.  Not to worry about things I cannot change and to act upon those I can.  I vow to try to be a better person each day.  Always trying to do better than the day before.  I vow to be there for CC, my Son and family and to love them as long as I'm able.
