new traditions...

my world was turned upside down about a year and a half ago when my mom died and our Christmas' have been hard ever since...last year was really tough...we kinda all felt shaken up, sad and confused as to what to do on Christmas day because that was the day we spent with grandma...
since mom passing, God has reminded me to enjoy what is right in front of me...my family...my friends that REALLY care about me...but mostly my family...you never know what the next day holds...cherish the moment God gives you...
my auntie recently told me "it's okay to have new traditions" and that really stuck with me...i shared her advice with my husband and kids and we all went with it this year and had a great, great time!
we started out at one of our favorite places...the beach...went for a walk/run, headed over to stacey's for some breakfast, then home for presents, dinner and out to a movie...
it took a little convincing to shannan that is was okay not to open gifts first thing in the morning...
god is good and he was with us all day...i prayed on the beach and thanked him for all the many blessings he has given me and i thanked him for my family...
He gives and He takes away...but even when He takes away, He never leaves us...
blessings to all of you in the new year...
