Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!  I've been gone for a while, unfortunately too many life curve balls.  I believe I now have a better handle on them.  This year I decided to be like everyone else and do a new years resolution.  Well more of a life resolution.  I am going to Trim the Fat from my life.  For me this represents several things
1) no More drama
2) cut back on over spending
3) cut debt
4) gut the guilt trip
5) of course the usual weight loss

These are just a few things that can apply to trimming the fat from my life.  And it's amazing how they lead into solving other areas as well. 
Today on day 1 of the new year I got the chance to  Trim one of the biggest dramas that has been in my life for about 3 years.
To keep the story short my long time best friend and I fell out.  During this fall out she was dating my brother in law.  They now  have a son together and we hadn't seen or heard from them in those years.  His family in the past few weeks has been trying to mend themselves together.  Which has been great.  Here's the the curve ball,  Today I get a phone call from my ex friend or I should say sister in law .  She wanted to stop by to bring my kids their Christmas presents. She, the baby and my brother in law came over.   I was worried it would be uncomfortable but it was fine.  They stayed for almost 4 hours.  I know we will never be able to pick up what we had before. But it's nice to start new.  Just this one simple act started the new years out right.  Curve ball hit and a full home run has occurred. 
So I am hoping that every one has a wonderful year.  Turn those new year resolution into life resolution.  And I welcome all of you to follow in my journey of solving the life's curve balls and resolution I have ahead of me.
