Having an ice storm in winter 2017 (My thoughts)

There is supposedly a really big ice storm coming in Missouri and throughout the midwest over the weekend.

I'm really thankful that I have a warm home to stay in. Many people don't even have that. It always helps to have perspective.

Things could always be worse. I'm praying for all of the homeless people, I hope they make it through this and have somewhere to go.

I hope people are safe traveling too. They are saying there's going to be a fair amount of ice accumulating on the roads.

It will be kind of nice to stay inside all weekend. Hopefully the ice won't be as bad as they say. This is our first major winter storm of 2017.

Spring is not even that far off. The last few days, it actually got up around 60 degrees here in Missouri!

That's really warm for the middle of January. I love living in Missouri, even if the weather is all over the place.

If you're reading this, don't travel unless you really have to, the roads are going to be slick!

New year, fresh start!

It's officially a new year, 2017, can you believe it? 2016 was rough in more ways than one. For all of us, not just some of us. It must have been something in the stars.

We lost a lot of amazing people, and the year just kind of felt like an uphill battle. 

But I can say that it wasn't all bad.

In fact, if you put a positive spin on it, 2016 was actually a really great year. A lot of really amazing things happened as well.

There is always a blessing in every situation. 

I learned a lot, and I grew a lot, but now it's time for a fresh start.

In 2017 I'm going to leave the baggage in the past. I'm letting go of all of the negativity and nonsense that was holding me back previously.

I think we should all do that. 

That's what New Year's is about, having a fresh start and starting over! It's a great opportunity that none of us should waste.

If you're reading this, I hope you have an amazing year filled with blessings, good luck, love, happiness, and wealth!

Thanks for reading!
