I’ve been on hiatus for the last 3 months, moving, spending time with
family and ringing in the New Year! But
now I can say…I’m back!
We are mid way into the first month in the New Year, how’s it going for
you so far? I have given great thought
to what this New Year means to me and I have to tell you…I’ve got nothing. I don’t mean that in a bad way, it’s just
that I have decided this year not to put any type pressure on the year 2016. Sure,
I have goals to meet, but in the words of Ray Charles “I’m gonna let it do what
it do baby”!
I’ve read countless posts and memes on social media on how 2016 will
be a “YEAR of SUCCESS”, the “YEAR of YES”, “THE BEST YEAR EVER”. I have to tell you that each year, month day
or second that I get to see is ALL of the above. When I first said this to a friend she said,
“I understand what you are saying, but many people feel that the start of a new
year is a time to reset, a clean slate”. But isn’t that what we do every day
our eyes open in the morning? We reset,
we give thanks to god for granting us the opportunity to get something right
today. So why would we abandon our daily
appreciation for just one specific year?
Let’s be honest with ourselves, 2016 will present some pretty
significant challenges, its inevitable.
But the good news is that with each challenge, we have yet another day
to conquer it, and with every success we have we also have the opportunity give
thanks for it and to do just a little bit better. Hopefully, in 2015, we learned a lot about
ourselves and made changes in our lives physically, mentally and spiritually. We had the fortitude to keep moving forward,
so carry that momentum into this New Year and keep going! Remember, it’s not about the year…it’s about
YOU!
Until next time my lovelies…always peace and blessings.
