I have such mixed feelings about 2014. I continued with my journey to become more healthy. I was searching for what I was to do next after retirement. I walked 3 different 5Ks each one going just a little bit faster. I lost 47 pounds, many inches, and 2 clothing sizes. I decluttered the house and made a few changes in it. I started teaching (well, at least tutoring) in homebound again (part-time, I keep telling them that and they evidently dont believe me). I lost one of my best friends/roommate/soul sister. The one has definitely overshadowed the others. This morning, I start making the lists of changes that I want to work on this new year. I started a new devotional which is going to emphasize more prayer/better communication using the bible to get there. This first lesson emphasized how Mary made the better choice when she chose learning/relationship over doing. I realized that what I have been missing the most was the relationship and have tried to fill it back up with actions. So, one of the items I will work on this year is to work on building/rebuilding relationships (first with my Lord and then with others). Maybe, just maybe, I have closed myself off to mourn and heal. I am still mourning, but need to stop closing myself off and maybe begin the process of reaching out to others again. There are still items on my new goal list which have to do with continuing the journey to becoming more healthy (that is not going away) as well as learning to be more active (and maybe a little less lazy) by continuing the journey of decluttering my house. Stuff has taken over and is part of what is disturbing my peace. I am the worlds worst pack rat and need to learn to let go of stuff, especially since it has become a hindrance in the relationship building that I need. So, look out 2015, here I come! Looking to improve in the journey, keeping old goals, making new ones and trying to find a few new friends along the way.....Happy New Year and may this one be better than the last one!
