It is new years eve, the house is quiet and I am all to myself. Luella is asleep and the husband is down the street to bring in the new year with friends. As I have often stressed I have a love hate relationship with blogging. Love - that I am on my computer being some waht creative, which relieves a great amount of stress. Love - that I am recording memories that I think that I will remember, but know I won't. Love- get to share these memories with friends and family. Hate - my grammar. Hate - my typos. Hate - that this this I say in my head, when the computer is not by me, are so much more clever then what ends up on the screen. My high school history teacher told me, "Cora, a sentence has a subject and verb". I laughed, he said, "It's not funny." And so, I have a complex, but one that is well deserved. I am not quite sure how I made it out of college with a masters, or how I can be a teacher. I have students who write and spell better then I do. The point I was going with this, I am not sure, I just know that I going to let it go.
I am not one who is big on New Year's Resolution. If you need to change something, do it now (well I realize in saying this that now it would be the new year, so pretend it is August or something), don't wait. Take charge, take the challenge, make it part of your life. So today, because I am pretending it is August I am letting go of my writing embarrassment. There done!
Here are a few of this years highlights. I tried to find some pictures of Luella with other people to record a memory, as well as use pictures that haven't already been on this blog! "New August Resolution" - take more family pictures!
(Thanks Jeanette for laughing!)
Looking back on this year, I feel like I am finally content. It is in motherhood I have found a certain calmness, even with it's challenges, I am complete. This year for me has been free of void.
