The past year, 2011, was a year of sadness. A cousin of ours, passed away at the age of 43 leaving behind a beautiful wife and 4 children. A few days after his funeral a tragedy hit our dear friend's family. We are like family....
The hardest struggle of the year has been a family issue. Just plan old hurtfulness. It has simply been a year of basically feeling walked all over.
I decided...it is the way I deal with it! Basically, I can't stop the way people feel but if I don't react in a way that is defensive than everything would be great. That is easier said than done. I have feelings, words and actions hurt. I also didn't understand why certain people feel everything is always about them or read into things. REALLY?????
So, I poured myself into my faith. WOW! I have been a faith-filled person but when I finally let everything go to GOD, everything works out. I know that sounds so cliche. Really, it has worked for me.
I want to go through my days with a "Cherries in the Snow" (my very favorite and rockin' lipstick) smile on face and kind word. I have learned to say NO and "Cherries in the Snow" has helped lightend that word a lot!
