And so we say goodbye to another year and hello to a new year. and with the new year come new hopes, dreams, goals, opportunities, chances, etc. some of these hopes and dreams may not be new at all. They might be some we’ve had for years. The new year just means we have more days to work at those dreams.
2006 wasn’t such a bad year. as a matter of fact I might go as far as to way it was an awesome year. 2006 will forever be the year of my take-home baby…the year of Naima . in 2006 I was finally able to experience and enjoy motherhood as it should be. I will forever be in love with the year 2006.
so let's talk resolutions for 2007. in 2006 i didn't make any. i was just trying to bring baby home alive and well that i didn't even think about anything passed that. but this year i do want to makes some goals.
For 2007 I hope/pray/wish to lose not just the baby weight but A LOT more weight than I care to share with the world right now. Yea, yea, it’s a healthy way to live but my only concern is to lose weight to have another baby. it’s all about another baby for me. It sucks that I have A LOT to lose. It sucks that I can’t ttc again until I do lost ALL that weight. Man, it sucks but having another baby makes it all work it.
i'd also like to work on having peace. I think I have lacked that since 2004 and probably even before that. ever since we started the journey to have our family peace has been practically non-existent. a constant turmoil in my life has been something that is totally out of my control. and even now that i have Naima i still feel i lack of peace. i'm not at peace with losing Mia. i'm not at peace that i feel like my family is still not complete. i realize now how much i still lack peace and for 2007 i hope to try to have just a little of it.
one of the most beautiful things i was able to witness in 2006 was abel with Naima. he is truly an awesome dad. yes, he is a great man but with the arrival of our daughter i have seen an even lovelier side of him. he's such a doting dad. he takes care of her so well. i fall in love with him all over again every time i see him with her. watching him feed her and bath her and dress her and play with her is one of my favorite passtimes. he really is an awesome parent and i know i am lucky to have him at my side to raise Naima.
so, goodbye, 2006 and hello 2007. may it bring more blessings and may we learn to recognize them...
