January 1, 2014 - Just like any other Wednesday

As so it was.
The next day.
I went to sleep on a Tuesday night, (in bed with my husband - all four children in their beds, and my niece Ella in hers) and woke up on a Wednesday.
The only thing different was the year.

Suddenly it is 2014. That number that I looked ahead to back then and thought, "Where will I be in 2014?"

So here I am.
Still married. Miracles.
Still four children. Blessings.
Still working as a therapist. Dreams come true.
Still in touch with old friends. Takes effort.
Still biting my nails. Bad habits.

Nothing has changed. And so much has changed, at the same time!

Thinking back, who would have thunk?
That I'd be where I am. This January 1, 2014?

And where will I be in 10 years? or 20 years? 

For now, I just keep going.
Trying to appreciate the day that I have.

**And as I go to click the publish button on this post, DB walks in the door. It's 8:00 am. So much for thinking all four children are in their beds!?! At least one of us is still young enough to celebrate all night long...**

Happy 2014 - Here's hoping it coasts by without too much drama!
