And so here we sit…11 days into this New Year feeling a little like 2009 and hoping and praying it isn’t! How to make it better…that is the question. A long list of things that are more self pity and self deprication than anything else. I want so much for my kids and often wonder if I am doing them a disservice. How do you know? How much time is enough, energy, activities, sweets, work, play, education, time with mom and dad? How do you know if they are having a good childhood and if you are shielding them enough from your struggles as parents? Do we ever really know? How can we? So many questions, far more than answers. So many times we feel guilt when we should let it go. Blame only goes so far and then action, I think, must kick in! But what action? How do you know what the right thing to do ever really is? I guess it’s like we’ve always said…you put your head down, and work as hard as you can…whatever comes from that will come.

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!
