Every year at the start of the new year, I like to take a few minutes just to look back at what has happened in my life and the lives of the people close to me. It's amazing how much a year can hold! New life, death, job changes, marriages, divorces... the list goes on!
Sometimes I think we get so carried away in the day-to-day that we don't take the time to just consider what God has done for us in the past 12 months! I know that I often get caught up in the negativity of life and all the bad things that go on around us or happen to us... and I often forget to remember the many positive things that happen! I guess that's human nature to remember the pain easier than the pleasure.
My challenge to myself this year is to focus on the positive and when I'm going through a rough patch in life to look back at the good things or the smoother road. Also I'm really going to try to enjoy the moments of life! I get so caught up in the fast pace of life and don't "take time to smell the roses", as my dad would say. Say no to stress in 2009!
