Remembering this Christmas

Ok...I Cannot believe Christmas has come and gone. Another year, gone by. Yea, yea...we've all heard our parents say this "the older you get, the faster time flys by". OMGosh, I am becoming my MOTHER. I just heard her say that to me in my head. YIKES!

Christmas was simple this year. No big commercialized gifts. It is actually distracting to gob up Christmas with material things. The company of one another was perfect. Friends, family, neighbors keeping it all simple and giving practical things. Most importantly, we are blessed with the presence of each other. I felt more love and gratefulness this year, which is the BEST gift anyone could ever receive.

An update on the rotator cuff surgery: I have been to 5 sessions of PT (physical therapy). I have advanced off the charts with my flexibility, recovery and strength. It's really quite AWESOME...yet, I see shock, and standoffish surprised looks on the therapist's as well as the surgeons' faces as they test my levels of improvement. They warn me to slow down and not rush it. I just shrug and tell them "don't worry, I will be fine." It's kinda funny, me reassuring them that I will be ok. LOL. It is honestly not a surprise to me that I have excelled so much this surgery. As I pray for recovery, I feel assurance of quick healing. I explain to Heavenly Father, I have to FINISH MY BOOK now-he obviously knows everything because he has really helped me get on with my life and not let surgery stop me. I will admit, as impatient as I am, I am still too slow...hey-but I do know that I better not complain. I have it MADE in the shade, baby! Thank you, God!

An update on my book "The Boss Of Myself": OK...that is a real hot spot. I REALLY REALLY want it finished now. It is all there, we (Jennifer and I) are arranging it in a different format. Before it was in chronological order...kinda blaaah-not so exciting. Now we are stirring it up so it's more juicy, giving it a little bit of back ground here and there. I really want to deliver SUPERB value to my readers by giving great insights, inspiring takeaways while keeping the story exciting. Believe me...this book has all OF ME POURED into it. How in the HECK will I squeeze more out of me for my next books? Don't worry, I have a great plan for them:) So TRUST me, my book will be soooo worth the wait. It's almost here!

All I can say is how grateful I am for now. All I have around me is perfect. I own a good healthy body. I have such a sweet, cute family. (Thanks Andrew, Hannah and Austin, Don't worry-your wife and momma will be back soon!) I have so many AWESOME friends who support me-even when I am a flaky goofus. I have a PERFECT business partner and friend assisting me (pretty much doing most of the work) on my book. (Thanks, Jennifer! Please continue to be patient with me...we are almost THERE!)

Thank you, my followers...without you-I would be blogging to myself...and that's no fun! I LOVE to share.

Happy NEW YEAR!!!
