With just over a month to go before the end of 2019, I am amazed at all the things that have happened in the last year. So many good things after a bumpy journey towards today. I hope all of you are looking back over the last year with the knowledge that you made it through your struggles and you should stand tall. When life gives you lemons- Make more than lemonade.
2019 has been good to me. 2019 is the year I found me. I have been a mom half of my life and a wife for the last 9 years. Outside of those two personas I had no idea who I was. So a few months ago I started therapy. It has helped me to remember what I want in my life outside of being mom and wife. These two personas don't define me but they are a part of me.
In remembering my past it was important to let go of the things I felt harmed me and I wasn't doing that. I held grudges for things that made me who I was. This year has been about letting go, learning to love me so I could love others, and reestablishing a bond with myself. You would be surprised at the amount of guilt that washed away from me when I let a neutral person see into my mind/heart. Therapy may not be for everyone, but self love is.
The last few weeks of 2019 will be chaotic with the holidays, but there is so much that can bring happiness if you allow it. I pray the next few weeks are full of memories, food, and love.
I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving. This year has flown by!
