My gratefulness to 2016, and welcome to 2017...
Okay, so maybe I am ten days late but I have my reasons.
I do not post much on here for the mere fact that my personal thoughts are what it is; personal. I thought that I could go through 2017 without a journal; to let my gym time be that outlet. Ha, I was and am so wrong. I have been journaling since I was 11. It has been my cheap therapist since my grandparents passed on. I have yet to purchase one for the year but this weekend the hunt is on.
2016 was full of stability and growth for me and I am very grateful. I started the beginning of the year with a negative view. From then on it was a rollercoaster of feelings and turmoil between me, myself, and I. If it wasn’t for my partner I don’t think I would have come to terms with what I was doing to myself.
2016 made me realize that people change. That distance changes people and that “family” can leave you feeling empty. I learned that it is ultimately YOU who decides what family means.
2016 left me to realize that I need to forgive, but never really forget the wrong doings of the ones who are supposed to be there for you in the literal beginning.
The end of 2016 left me feeling thankful. It left me feeling proud but also made me aware of how FAST life can go yet it is very important to take each day and savor it.
Welcome 2017. & now I need to get my ass to a boutique and find a journal.
