December 31, 2017

As 2017 comes to an end I find myself reflecting back more than I ever have. To simply say this past year has been a challenge would be an understatement of monumental proportions. It has easily been the most difficult year of my life and, having been through more than most I think throughout my life, that really is saying a lot. I have endured more in a handful of months than I ever thought I could, or even would allow. I have felt every emotion to its fullest extent over and over. And while this time has been my most challenging...it has also proved to be a time of overwhelming love, happiness and contentment. I’ve had the opportunity to really truly see and feel what matters most. The love for and from my dearest friends and family has carried me further than I ever knew was possible. While my future remains uncertain I find myself settled, content, completely happy. I am blessed to have been so enlightened at a time when I needed it most. My goals for 2018? I will continue to be thankful for all that I am and have each and every day. I will be thankful that I am well enough to work at a job I really enjoy. I will be thankful that I have the very best parents, children, soul mate, and friends that a girl could ever hope for. I will be thankful that I am here. And I hope nothing less than the same for everyone around me. Life is beautiful and it is a blessing. You just have to stop a second and realize it 🙂
