Today I awakened filled with resolution and determination.

14 hours and several naps later, the house is sparkling and fragrant from the orange and tea tree oil cleansers, laundry is done (for the moment, anyway) and my thoughts are aligned.

What does all of this mean? More pushing forward, pushing through. My love and I were able to do some gardening over the weekend, so our little garden is idyllic in the evenings. 🙂

I have surrounded myself (and all of us) with SERENITY. I have to put that in caps lock for my Dad, since he has been pulling for that to be a family goal since 1998 – possibly earlier. He probably thought I wasn’t paying attention, but I was. And, all these years later, I’ve processed it and assimilated it into my life, our lives. I’m not waiting for New Years.

Serenity begins now.

Blessings to you all…
