"Try a little harder to do a little better." ~Gordan B. Hinkley
On top of all this I feel like I am coming off a REALLY crappy year FULL of trials and failure and all around horribleness! None of my goals for last year were met...close, but not met (you can find some of my goals here)...I STILL live in the basement of my mother's house with my 4 kids & my husband...I never made it through the BOM once! I still feel horrible about that one...I only made it up to 6 miles in my half marathon goal...I was 5 pounds away from my goal weight, but have since put it all back on...no baby, but instead a heartbreaking miscarriage...I made fondant and then it sat in my fridge in the garage for 3 months before I finally decided I wasn't going to do anything with it & threw it out...no scrapbooking was done AT ALL...and my list can go on and on...
So during all this horrible feeling sorry for myself because my life is such crap I stopped and realized in all this yucky stuff there have been quite a few good things that have happened too. I started school! That was really hard and I was really afraid to do it but I did it...That wasn't just a goal for a new year but a life goal of mine!... While I was training for my half marathon I felt fit and happy and good about myself! I haven't felt that way in a LONG time!...my family is happy and healthy and I am madly in love with my husband...I feel like I have fallen in love with him all over again through this hard year...we have grown so close to one another and have really learned to rely on one another...so through all this thinking I was doing I came up with the other half of my resolution...because I always have more than one...

Embrace it!

I loved this post. I am sorry your last year has been so hard. But I love your resolutions and that you see the good too. Embrace it seems to be a good theme to live by.
