I lost mine for a while when things went really pear shaped, but I'm slowly building it back up again - it's taken years to feel positive and to trust again.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for 2017 and I'm working at enjoying each day as it comes along. My biggest hurdle is not looking at those people who seem to have it all and envying them. You just don't know what's around the corner - so I'll do what you're planning on - just being thankful for life and the good times when they roll around.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-50075887311263297352017-02-02T16:09:47.778+08:002017-02-02T16:09:47.778+08:00I thought for a moment you were going to tell me t...I thought for a moment you were going to tell me that you were one of those lucky people who never have a crisis to deal with Lisa - I was very relieved to see the "hot mess" bit at the end - and it's amazing how a little bit of faith in a big God gets us through those tough bits.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-28709044123305078402017-02-02T16:08:29.566+08:002017-02-02T16:08:29.566+08:00I think that's the secret Tam - it's not h...I think that's the secret Tam - it's not having those expectations that some of us seem to have in abundance (that would be me).
