Relaunch

Today I am re-launching my blog. In the past things have never really been geared in a specific direction, but now they will be. I will now be writing about things that happen in our daily lives, as well as things that we choose to do differently, in a positive manor, to change our lives, our health, and our careers for the better. I am hoping that you will join me on our new journey.

I have chosen to do the 30 day no fail happiness challenge, that a friend has posted on Facebook. I am currently on day 3, and have decided that I will publicly share it with you all.


The first day is to name 3 things that you are thankful for, and to continue for the rest of the month.

1. I am thankful for the family that I have that is here to support me in whatever that I do. We are facing some health challenges in our family right now, and it is great to know that we can be there for each other.
2. I am thankful for my health. I received the news that all of my checkup tests came back normal, and that there is once again no sign of the cancer returning.
3. I am thankful for the fact that I we are stable enough in our lives that we have been able to take the time off to be here with my family for the things that we are facing.

Day 2- Write down something meaningful that happened to you in the last 24 hours and continue for the rest of the month.

In the last 24 hours I have had many meaningful things happen to me. One that sticks out in my mind is my little nephew curling up in my lap this morning right after he woke up because he wanted to cuddle.

1. I am thankful for the fact that we work for an owner that allows us, within reason, to do whatever we need to with our truck, our time off, and many other aspects of trucking.
2. I am thankful for the few true friends that I have. Trucking has shown me who my true friends really are, and the ones who are only there when they need something.
3. I am thankful for technology that allows me to be in contact with those who mean a lot to me in my life.

Day 3- Reach out to someone you know and praise them.
My husband deserves so much more praise that I give him. He deals with me, and that is a lot all on it's own. He has been here for me through so many things. He was my rock when I had cancer, he stepped up and went on the road on his own, when I needed to take care of family things at home. He has devoted his entire life to me, and for this he deserves so much more recognition than I could even give him.

In the last 24 hours, something meaningful that happened to me was learning the compassion that others have for the hard things that we face in life.

1. I am thankful for my husband loving me the way that he does.
2. I am thankful that we were able to go up north and visit my dad for the first time since Christmas. We were also able to go down to my great uncles house and visit with extended family.
3. I am thankful for having a large sleeper on our truck that allows me to be able to cook healthy things for us while we are away from home.


I am looking forward to sharing our past and future journeys with you, and that you stop back by to see what is in store!
