Finding serenity in January solitude

Welcome to January — the month of new beginnings! That little shout-out is my attempt at positive thinking because I sure don’t want to wander through January as dysfunctional as I was in December. All I will say is that if you’re a woman who has raised children, you know you never stop being a mom in your heart. Unfortunately, kissing boo-boos, wiping away tears and hugs won’t fix the things that go wrong in your adult children’s lives. Life goes on but it still weighs heavy on your heart and can steal your joy during “the most wonderful time of the year.”
