You really never know someone---

2012 was by far the worst year I have ever lived---I would be a fool to say it couldn't get worse, but I know it could--I'm not posting this for sympathy, it just feels good to write it down...heres how my year unfolded:

Dec 29, 2011 my father passed away
Feb 29, 2012 I divorced after 17 yrs
Sep 30, 2012 I shut my business down
Oct 22, 2012 my newborn granddaughter was diagnosed with cancer
Nov 03, 2012 my mother passed away

I've had alot of defining moments---it's been VERY HARD and there's days I'm surprised I'm still breathing...I'm hoping and praying this year brings some sunshine and love into my life. I did receive good news about my granddaughter...the chemo seems to be working...that I'm so very thankful for.

So never judge someone, you never know what they maybe going through!!!!

Many people goes through some strange sad things. Me too!!! Try to hold your head up! . . . Do you know that song name: "Gotta Keep Your Head Up" ?
Hi Okie,

All of this, sad as it is, will make you a better person.
I empathize with your losses and sincerely hope that 2013 will be a better year for you and your loved one.

"Henceforth I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge.
I will greet this day with love in my heart."

Augustine "Og" Mandino (12 December 1923 – 3 September 1996)

You're here, you're with us. Hurray!
You can change many things, but not the past.
Look forward. Everyone has already started to change.
Good luck!
