The days are winding to the end. The year will be over and I say thank god. I have never looked so forward to a new year in all my life. Especially since I am a lot older now, I like for the years to slow down so I can enjoy them, but Not this year!
The year began with all bright and promise. We ate with Aunt Olga and Uncle Bud -Pat and Theron. We did all the correct things. Ate our cabbage, black eye peas, cornbread, etc but I am seriously rethinking this for the new year.
Though I must say, our year was better than most people, it was one of the worst that we have ever had. If God had a purpose, which most christians believe, then it must be as one of my friends said. For Steve and I to grow closer, for us to appreciate what we do have, and for me to realize that life does go on good or bad. I do appreciate my children (young men). I enjoy them and will always have them close in my heart no matter where they may go. I do love Steve and appreciate his good qualities. I have learn to accept people for what they are and hope that I can cope with those who have an irritating problem.
Before the school year ends, we must make several decisions. All I can say is that we make them in the best interest of our future. I will have to decide what I will do jobwise. Hopefully, I will be able to continue what I am doing and do it where I will feel comfortable and with close friends. We must also decide whether to rebuild the big house for sure. It disturbs me to know that within a few months we must again worry about whether another hurricane will come and take what we have rebuilt. But 2006 will definitely be a year for reflecting and making difficult choices.
