On this 47^th year, I am blessed to have my health, wealth, and happiness. I started the year feeling defeated, disheartened, and heartbroken, but I have my health, a wealth of support from you, and I really am happier than ever. 

My family seems so far apart.  It’s been five years since I had all three of my children together for the holiday season, and it’s hard to see them drift apart. In my heart, I know it’s their age, though I can’t help but worry. I wish for my children to love and depend on each other. My sisters are those who get me through tough times, and I want my children to have that in each other. Some days are harder than others. They are my children, and I love them unconditionally. 

In this new year of life, I woke up grateful for the life God has granted me. I am grateful for my children and their love and respect. I am grateful for Miguel, who has shown me what is possible in a relationship and continues to be a dedicated father and partner in this life. I pray to keep us all together, happy, healthy, and safe. I am grateful for my family, my friends, and my colleagues. I am grateful for my readers and those who continue to show up. Thank you for my home, my car, my job, and my ability to provide for my family. I am grateful for so much more, and I am blessed. 

I want to thank my readers who reached out after my last post. It’s incredible to realize how many of you I can count on. Thank you for all of the beautiful birthday wishes. It was a wonderful way to bring in my 47^th year.
