A time to reflect ..

Well life has been a roller coaster here .. thus a major reason why I haven't been writing much , and please accept my apologies for that. We have been dealing with many things , besides binas fight with Autism. 
Through it all However, we remain in fighting mode spirits up and staying strong. Trying to keep the faith that everything happens for a reason and to be thankful for all we have at this moment in time. Anything can happen in a second that can change your entire world in a blink of an eye and this year has proven this to us on more then one occasion. It Seams perfect timing that tomorrow we are to celebrate and give thanks to all we have and show love and appreciations to those we love, to Those whom stand beside us and have supported our journey. Today as I clean up and prepare for our family dinner tomorrow, I cant help but to think about all that has happened, where we where last year to where we are this year.. and give thanks to God that as we continue to climb this mountain , Sabrina's progress steadily continues and that I can't ask for anything more or be anymore grateful and or thankful just for that.

Every Time this year I start reflecting. Bella continues to fight and make me proud. Reflections mean more now, especially since we started our own recovery journey      ( Oct 2011 ) . Its crazy to think about all that has happened, the good the bad the ugly... and then see where you are today. Not only in a physical sense.. but mentally, as a person , as a parent , as a family ...just everything. Sure I've been told before I maybe over analyzing  things at times.. but I'm sorry I am so not the person I used to be, and my family definitely forever changed. We are all definitely in a different place now, a better place.. and reflecting may remind me of past lessons but it also feeds me and motivates me for how far we come, how proud I am of us all and excited to think what the next year may bring. So although thanksgiving is just a "dinner" its abit more to me then just that. For me its the beginning of our yearly reflections.. 
I think its a great time for everyone to stop, take a step back and reflect. 

It helps us learn , grow and keep us focused to stay on the right track!
