I try my very best to be a bright side kind of person...there is always a silver lining, and all that jazz. I often see more good than bad. Some find it annoying. Some find it refreshing. I may have mentioned before that overall I am from a clan of "bright-siders", I jokingly say it is genetic. Most of us in our family can find a bright spot, or word spin on just about anything to make it sound positive.
Well let me just tell you, that the bright spots in 2012 were kind of limited. The brightest was getting to see my oldest son make a huge step and become a Christian, and witness his first communion and his baptism. That is the brightest by far. Nothing can top that. The next brightest spot for me for 2012 will happen at 11:59 tonight...that's right, it will be done.
I have mentioned before that the entire month of September sucks. I have written before about how the beast took not only my Dad, but my Grand dad, and an Uncle and the other was fighting his own battle. He sadly lost that battle December 12. But that story will be told another day.
It has become comedic somewhat. My mother is known for her disdain of the phrase "It sucks" to the point of scolding all that use it. My little family of bright siders agree on one thing whole heartedly and voice regularly...2012 SUCKED. All of us are happy to see it go, and are praying as sincerely as we know how that this will be the roughest year we have to endure for, well forever.
My heart will struggle facing another year like this, my strength will muster through if that happens again, my sanity will be a victim to circumstance if we endure this suckage again.
I will bring in the new year in my home, more than likely sound asleep, and wake up to start a new day, a new year and hopefully a new chapter on life that includes health and happiness and good news in abundance.
