Another year has come and gone and still...

Congratulations! We are all still here to continue this journey we call life. I have taken some time these past two weeks to really sit and reflect upon my life and my hopes for my family's future. At the beginning of each year I always hope for a better understanding of things. I hope to make more friends. I hope to be a better mother, friend, child, sister, etc. The only thing is that hope is only a piece of the path to success. You have to go get it and make it happen.

So today, I have decided that the one thing that I want more than anything right now is to make more friends. Not just people that I can add to my friends list at social networking sites, but real people that I can call and talk to. Women that can appreciate and understand what I go through each day when I feel like a failure, and believe me when I say, I feel like a failure more often than I care to admit. I have spent so many years pretending that friendships don't matter as long as I have the love of my immediate family. For the most part, this is true. But sometimes, I need that adult female perspective.

I plan to share my story this year in my quest to seek friendship of everyone that I meet. I plan to followup and stay connected more. If you wish to offer me some advice, suggestions, and/or well wishes, please blog me. If you see me following on the way side, encourage me to keep trying.

Thanks,
