Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and are as excited about the new year as I am. I truly believe that there is nothing quite like the new year to make you feel refreshed and ready to do anything.
Politics and celebrity deaths aside, 2016 was a year filled with highs that were sadly overshadowed by some of the darkest, lowest lows of my life. Much of the year was sadly spent going through a range of emotions from anxious to depressed, to a number of health issues. To say it was rough would be an understatement. While the year was challenging, as cliche as this may sound, I definitely feel like I came out of it stronger. I actually learned a lot about myself and life, and I feel the most sure and most confident I have ever felt.
I couldn’t think of a better exit from work on my last day. There’s another picture but it’s not as, um, nice let’s just say…
There were times last year when the only way I could explain how I was feeling was that I was “existing instead of living.” I never want to feel that way again. I wanted to challenge myself this year to actually do the things I say I will and so the 17 in 2017 was born.
If 2016 taught me anything, it was the fragility of life and that time is fleeting. I want 2017 to be different. To be better. I want this year to be one where I actually do things that I say I want to do. I want to be able to look back at 2017 as the year where I was living and not just existing.
With that, I truly do wish you all the best for the new year. If you have any goals for the New Year that you feel like sharing, please feel free!
