1st of the Month

Yesterday was a day like no other. It was one of those days that the planets weren't aligned correctly. I haven't had one of those days in a very long time. I've had emotionally bad days, but not ones where everything starts to go wrong. With the exception of the night where my life was turned upside down, I've been fortunate.

Yesterday was an example of a day that yes, I survived it with family and friends, but wanted to share with him. These are going to be the hard moments, the trying moments.

Let me tell you though, I actually followed my own advice and decorated my first tree. It helped immensely! After the day I had, it was nice to just kick back and enjoy time with my family as we prepared for the start of Christmas. Oh! Also, having a beautiful niece or nephew works just as great as alcohol or anything else. So, if you don't have one of those - go get one. I live for my nephew, Sebastian.

My younger brother saw me through plenty of rough spots, but now he's just a big pain <3
Sebastian is my little ray of sunshine, always so happy and laughing. I swear being with him is like taking a bottle full of happy pills. I think that's why I'm always there - working out and Sebastian. I love my sister and hubby as well.

I cannot begin to tell you how important it is to surround yourself with your loved ones. Besides eating, drinking, exercising and drinking; you need family. My sister and her little family have been my anchor through this storm called Heart Break. I will be forever thankful to them for that.

This is the 1st day of the last month of the year, the month that I am going to have fight my way through. Once I survive December, January won't seem so hard. I cannot wait till 2012! I have a cruise to look forward to, paying off FIU, getting into better shape.

2012 symbolizes a fresh beginning for me. It means leaving all of the hurt, sadness, disappointment, broken dreams behind. I cannot wait to see what 2012 brings me. I hope for peace of mine and a happy heart.
