So, as a new year starts, 2015, I think back at all the years past. We identify and categorize our past by what year that happened We say things like ...that was 2012, that was 2 years ago, that was the spring of 2008... What is funny to me, is that we live each day, puting one foot in front of the other, and we dont realize the memories we are making, or the milestones we are reaching, until we look back. Today is the first day of 2015 (we all know that!). But it is a typical day, although beautifully sunny for a winters day. I will be watching the Duck game. Then tomorrow I go back to work. Just like any other day. But now it will be 2015, and all my stories from yesterday will now be categorized as that happened in 2014. I have been living for so many years feeling stuck, unable to make the changes Ive needed in my life. So, I have a lot of expectations for 2015. I dont expect to be blown away every day in 2015. But I know when I get to the end of 2015, I will be different. I will be different because of the little steps I make in every average day. The growth I will achieve, slowly, through every normal experience. There are some things that I know will stand out for me in the coming year, like my baby girl turns 18 in two weeks, my grandaughter Brooklyn will arrive in April, and I think I am going to COSTA RICA this year with a good friend. Of course I have resolutions, like getting healthy (mind, body and soul), figuring out my finances and being more self reliant. All those things are good, and I will do them day by day by day. But if I dont do them perfectly (and I wont), I am ok with that and I will Keep Going. So, here is to 2015! When I look back on this year I will say That is the year I became a grandmother. and That is the year I went to Costa Rica and many other things that will come along the way. I also hope I can say That is the year I started finding myself, caring for myself, and empowering myself. Although I am sad a little for what I left behind in 2014, I am also hopeful, and I am grateful, and I love. I hope you are all hopeful, too, and grateful, and that you love!
