This Is It

It is January, barely, and that always causes an urge in me to revisit those old diaries, begin that well intentioned diet, clean out my closets, get a haircut, whatever it takes to start fresh.  A new beginning.

Well, so far this month has been a bit rocky.  I started it off by rearending a car that had to stop suddenly for a pedestrian in an unlit crosswalk.  Smashing my car and the one in front.  Not something I care to repeat, ever:)  As accidents go, this one was very Undramatic, thank God!  Everyone was very civil and kind, the man I rear ended was honest and understanding and the police officers even joked at me that I had made the "top 10" as this was accident number 9 of the new year!  Here are shameless plugs for all the help:
      *Progressive Insurance was easy and accomodating! 
       *Moody's in Lewiston was AMAZING and it's too bad they fixed smashed cars because I would like to go back there and give them more business, but I don't want me or anyone else I know to have to use them, Hhhmm?? 
       *Enterprise Car rental was exceptional as well, upgrading my rental to the minivan I am now addicted to with no extra charge.  As a mom commuting with an infant and wanting do everything together as a family, we need the room.

Meanwhile, Little Lilly got the flu!  She had gotten the flu shot as soon as she could but the timing wasn't perfect and the poor thing got sick. Talk about scary.  She is so little and helpless and we just kept feeding her and keeping fluids in anyway we could.  She recovered without having to go to the hospital, but she did need a nebulizer.  She loved it and appreciated the fact that she could now breath!  We are all so grateful to the best doctor in the world!! Dr. Brian Knighton and the entire staff at Freeport Family Medical went above and beyond to make sure that Lilly and the whole family were well taken care of!

So here it is the end of January and I've been a little busy with life to think about all those fresh start things and ideas, which may be a blessing in disguise.  Instead I have been refocusing on "This Is It" and appreciating every day we have as a new beginning with endless possibilities.  I am making a re-commitment to living my life One Day at A Time.  I have a healthy family, a warm home, a job I enjoy, groceries in the cupboards and am surrounded by Love, and Laughter:)  I for once do not have the incessant gnawing that I should be changing things just because it is a new year.  I love my life just the way it is:)
