This is mine.

Even though times have been very diffucult for me in the past year. I am thankful for so much. Thankful for my family, friends, dogs, my life. I may feel manic at times and depressed in others. A rollercoster of a year has past. I am hopeful for a new year and begining. A new begining to make something for myself. A hopeful future of  a good job for both tony and i. Never loosing hope that we can make. As a matter of fact we will. This is what i hold on to. Not my past to define me the present that holds me and the future that carry me. I do feel as sometimes i just float, i am taking every chance i have no matter how tough or scared i may be. I probably won't be millionaire, drive a fancy car, or own a mansion. But in my future i will be able to pay my bills, have a car that runs, and a roof over my head that i may say is mine. So many i know have this, and take this for granted because of whatever reason. I am happy no matter where i may end up living, because the address, time zone,  or miles from you i may be. Because, these things are unsignificant to the real things in life.
So this is my ode to 2011. I may not know what it holds for me, but i am keeping my head high, my feet grounded, and my soul encased in hope.
