I sit here, sipping my morning coffee, watching as my two
little ones play together (somewhat) peacefully. As they race back and forth
through their little pop-up tunnel, they giggle fiercely and somehow make it happen
with a rare lack of any injuries to each other. I feel blessed. I feel tired. I
feel determined.
2016 brought giant blessings and big heartaches. My first
daughter was born, and I honestly can’t picture what life was like without her.
It doesn’t seem possible that there was a time without our sweet, happy little
girl. Liam turned 2 and I learned where the phrase “terrible 2’s” comes from.
There were tears when one of my best friends in the world lost her daddy. There
was determination to live more
knowing that life can disappear at any moment.
Ringing in 2017 gave me home for a clean slate in a year I’m
determined to make a beautiful one. I want to love bigger, yell less, live simpler,
give selflessly and laugh more. I want to have more dance parties with my kids,
spend more time with my husband, and have more “forget to check my phone”
moments.
Happy 2017, friends. I hope that you can look back on this
coming year as we ring in the next knowing that you grew for the better.
Anna
