Goodbye to 2017. As I sit here, I am recovering from an almost week-long sickness that had me drained and then eventually feverish, slightly and mostly just doing nothing but messing up my week off that I had hoped to get a lot of work done in. But, here I sit. My temp is down to 99.4, but it was normal earlier, so I'm hopeful. Plus, I feel pretty antsy at trying to stay in my bedroom away from the kids so they don't get sick.
Anyway, normally New Years Eve for us is spent with just me and the kids playing games and eating and ringing in the new year while my hubby performs 2 or 3 shows and arrives home late after midnight. This year, I'm really missing that as I am texting them from the bedroom, and they are sharing with me their home-made pizza and such.
I'm not trying to be depressing. Just that I guess as of now my word for the new year will be LIVE.
I simply feel like I just want to live.
For me, 2017 brought a lot of health issues for my parents. It started with my mom undergoing a knee replacement which was somewhat unexpectedly followed by my dad undergoing surgery and treatment for cancer. Let me tell you, I really think the treatment is worse than the cancer itself. It's tough to watch your parent go through it. The year is ending with my mom returning from the hospital after an emergency gallbladder surgery. I'm sure they will be happy to kick 2017 goodbye.
Being sick makes you appreciate feeling well. It makes you appreciate the ability to live.
I want to make the most out of every second of every day and really live it to the fullest.
I'm sure I'll come up with a more uplifting 2018 post soon, but for now. Live! And Happy New Year!
