I will be ready and waiting.
Because it always does doesn’t it?
That
is Life.
Obstacle and Challenges.
And the next 10 yrs are going to be a rocky financially
for us. Wanting to keep up a lifestyle that is getting harder to afford. Not
willing to make too many sacrifices along the way to interfere with the beautiful
life we have created for ourselves. Financially we are at the lowest we have
ever been with not many solutions on the table.
And life is just changing. New Year’s parties not as easy
to plan…beaches and bathing suits not as easy to go to with a brace…triglycerides
higher, and waist circumstances growing. Less time..more to do…more wants..more
needs..less money.
We have approx. 5 yrs. left (if that) to teach pour kids
what they need to know to grow into well-adjusted and functioning adults.
We have years to make up in our marriage of some issues
ignored.
We have walks to take and vegetables to eat.
Sparkling water and non-alcoholic beer to integrate fully
into our lives
Intimacy to be created and trust to be built.
Hard choices to make and no time to make them in.
Friends to confide in and no time to take to tell the
story
Dr appts to worry about and medical expenses for a
lifetime.
Tears to be shed and feelings to be let out.
Feelings to be felt
But you know what? As mentioned in my post yesterday…this
is peanuts compared to thinking your kid might be paralyzed for the rest of her
life. There is a lot I can handle…but this truly tested me. So therefore, I am
now more than ready to take all of this
and more .And when you go through in a marriage and family what we
have in 2014 all within about 8 weeks of shock after shock after shock….there
is not much left to scare us.
And you know what has saved us in 2014 and for the long
list of completely unexpected things we have and are experiencing? It’s our
foundation we have built in our family and with many of our friends. As a
Family of Five mainly. Unwavering-clear priorities, clear strategies. Love.
Hope. Faith.
But now we need to re-prioritize after a year of instability on all fronts. Time for a new plan and new direction and new focus. A new game plan. It’s gonna change baby!
We CAN DO THIS. AND WE WILL. United and together.
Give me a problem..and you can be sure I will have a
plan. And ultimately fix it . And make it better.
It’s
what I do.
And I can guarantee you-I won’t be stopping now.
