Today seemed like the perfect day to enter the world of blogging once again. And so I am. I’ve been distracted. Afraid. Writing brings out emotions. Grief. Sadness. Tears. But also joy. Love. Happiness. So I decided. Today. I’m ready.
“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind. Let it be something good.”
Not only is this the beginning of a new day, it is the beginning of a new year. Of life. For me. My birthday. These were always a big deal with Gregger. We loved celebrations. With the kids. Each other. We believed in celebrating good times. And we have memories to prove it. But P.G. (post-Gregger) it’s different. It’s another day. Another day that’s passed without him here. Another day that I’ve come to peace with my place on earth. Another day I’ve grown. Evolved. Become a bit stronger. And another day to remind me that every moment counts. Live. Love. Embrace. Cherish. Laugh. Three years have gone in the blink of an eye. I don’t want to look back three years from now and say, “Huh? Where did it go? What have I done?” I want to look back and say, “Wow! That was awesome!” My “special piece,” my “other half” will always be missing. But I’m here. I need to continue to celebrate. To live. To fight for happiness. And peace. So Happy Birthday to me. Today is the first day of the BEST year of my life. Crazy? Maybe a little. But actions begin with attitude. And mine is all about bringing on the love!
