My Word Of The Year.

So I was reading and saw were people were doing a word for the year and thought I would pick a word to reflect on and put into action  this year. My word for the year is BREATH, just breath I have always been able to control myself and my emotions pretty well up until I married my husband and to let you know he is ten years older than me, been married before and has two children from that marriage one which has mental disability's. When I married my husband we had only been dating for 3 months and I was young and had no idea what I was getting myself into, Don't get me wrong I love my husband but I have to tell You this in order for you to understand why I choose BREATH as my word. After the first couple of months I was feeling overwhelmed by all of it, having to deal with his kids and his ex wife being in the picture and calling at crazy times wanting money or wanting to know where he was and what he was doing and not getting her kids, and calling on there anniversary wishing him a happy anniversary, and a whole other list of things, and my husband having custody of the kids and her only getting them every other weekend and it being a war just for her to get them then  and the kids are a whole other story I had to keep the disabled one in the day while my husband was at work and his daughter was at school, I had NEVER been around little long take care of a child with problems like this, So I went into a state of depression and thought to myself I want out and I want to be at home with my family again all this is just crazy to me no one understood, I had my family telling me we told you not to get married so young and get out while you can but I knew what the Bible said about marriage so I stuck it out and we had our first child our daughter in 2006 and then our son in 2008 and I picked up along the way just to yell and scream at them so when our children got here I catch myself doing it to them and I want to be back to my calm, happy, cheerful self again and be the best Wife, Mom, StepMom and child of God that I can be and so alot of the time I need to just stop and Breath. Things have been good and bad these last almost 7 yrs and I want to see things be great so I need to learn to breath. Here are some definitions of breath. 
 a short pause or rest, a brief time, a whisper or soft sound, so I hope you find your own word and practice it for the year.
                                                                                       Be blessed, Britiany
