2013 a year in review

Well as with most years 2013 has had some huge ups and some pretty big downs. My two still living grandparents died 3 days apart from each other in March. That was the roughest part of my year. My husband lost his job and has had trouble finding a new one. But I turned 30 and got a trip to the zoo filled with great memories. I found out I'm going to be an aunt. I got trained in the pharmacy at work. The beginning of the year my health was very bad and it felt like it just kept getting worse but recently my health has been improving. I'm having less seizures, less migraines, and less kidney stones. My family has had decent health. No major family feuds.  I think in general it's been a great year. I have a very dear friend expecting a baby any day now and I can't wait for her arrival. If she shows up in the next few days then I will have one more thing to feel blessed for in 2013. If not then she'll have to be my first thankful thing of 2014! I try every year to let myself mourn the poor things that happened that year but I also try to think of the things that I feel so blessed for. I got my 2 precious kitties this year. I gained more friends then I lost. I feel like my life is moving towards a very positive place. I don't make new years resolutions because I don't like to set myself up for disappointment but I'm hoping to keep the happiness going in 2014. I hope to drink more water, focus on mine and my husbands health and eating habits better. I want to plant an even bigger garden this year. If those things don't happen it's not the end of the world but I'd like to try to improve. I think as long as we're always striving to get better then the world will keep improving. So weather you make resolutions or not I wish you all a very happy 2014!
