Well, Eric and I had a very eventful, happening evening. We went to dinner with a good friend AND THEN...we went home!! HA! We rang in the new year in our pjs with Mocha and a glass of champagne. Life doesn't get much better, right?? If I were to declare a New Years Resolution, it would go along with that. Enjoying the little things in life. Did I want to go out? Yes. Was I bummed at first that plans fell through? Yes. However, I think we spent the evening as we should have. I was with my husband and our wittle pup, who love me. :)
Since Eric and I have been married I've been making "plans" for us. I've spent a lot of time worrying about where we live, what we do, what we should do next, did we make the right choice, etc, etc, etc. It's exhausting! Who am I to make these choices? I don't have control! While we were in Lawton visiting Eric's family we went to church Sunday morning after Christmas. The message was wrapped around the idea of carrying our "child-like wonder" of Christmas throughout the year. To remember what the meaning of Christmas is, throughout the year. One of the last things the priest said was that we are not in control of our happiness. WHAT?! I've spent SO much time trying to ensure that Eric and I are happy. I feel like I've wasted so much energy stressing out that I've missed out on just being in the moment and allowing myself to be "happy". So, dear loved ones, that is what I will strive to work on this year. Enjoying what I have, loving who I am, and appreciating everything that God has blessed us with. Can I get an Amen?
