Today starts a New Year and probably a new me. I am 25 year old woman who is just discovering the possibilities. Divorce consumed some much of my time and came to define who and what I was. That person is not who I wanted to be, Today I want to be me. I am very happy right now though self discovery is not something that I am good at. Taking care of others is how I have defined myself.
In the New Year I have many goals; my resolutions are:
1. I want to run in a marathon
a. This will show me how far I can go
b. It will be fun
c. It will aid it my physical healt
d. The weight loss will be a fringe benefit
2. I want to explore further ways in self defense
a. These take discipline and control. I believe I have both of these things but these skills can be sharpened
b. I firmly believe that a woman can protect herself, should know how, but should never half to.
3. Time management skills
a. These are something I do stink at.
b. Learn to prioritize
c. Not take on so much
d. Taking time for me is ok.
Hardships: something that I have grown grateful for in the past year. There are several that mark it.
1. The divorce
2. Pat’s passing
3. My dad’s open heart surgery
4. The issues with my mother
5. The general dysfunction in my family
6. The migraine headaches
Though the hardships have seemed to define the past year I need to point out the things I am grateful for; the blessings.
1. My relationship with God and the recovery of that.
2. The Divorce Care class
3. The fact my father got better
4. I am healing from the divorce
5. I got to say goodbye to Pat
6. The people that have come into my life
7. The friends I have
8. I feel like I’m on the right path
9. I like my job.
Blessings to each of you in the New Year!
