Busy!  That was me over the holiday break.  You?  From guests to events to Christmas to New Years to new toys to fun with the kids to this to that to this to that.  All of it fun, but slowing down now is a good thing, right?  

I have always looked forward to January 2.  It signals the start for s…l..o…w…i…n…g down and starting fresh.  Resolutions…um, no.  Why set myself up for failure?  I try to keep in mind things I’d like to do in the coming year, but I keep my expectations open.  If it does not happen, I am not going to let my perfectionist side have the opportunity to beat myself up!

When in the midst of difficult circumstances, however, I love to know that it is always a year of hope.   One of my favorite Scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11.  I really consider this Scripture to be a theme for my life, but while I was going through PPD, I clung to it.  

Start your year with hope and resolve to take a step each day to wellness, knowing you are not alone.  Others have tread this path and we will walk with you.  

Jeremiah 29:11 I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  [emphasis mine]
