The brand new year brings many new things for me this year and that is all well and good in my world.
This year compared to the last is starting up so much better and it seems easier to say, "This will be my year." And mean it.
Work is work and has become challenging in the best possible way. I'm moving up the ladder here, and while I don't think it's what I pictured for myself at this age, I am satisfied. I am happy in this job; I am excited at the possibilities it has offered me and continues to offer.
I'm learning to be me again. Those closest to me know that the first half of last year (and the last half of the year prior) brought me many things that took a while to move through. I am normally such a fast moving person- it hurts and then it doesn't anymore, I move on, I get over it and it is done with, but this last year has been different.
The good news is that I am beginning to talk to people again- the people that I need to be talking to- friends, family. New people are beginning to scare me less, I am not as afraid in crowds. I am not having as many panic attacks; I am not so constantly afraid.
Here is the deal. My resolution this year is to look at everything with nothing but optimism. I have always known that I have the power to make the best of things and this year I am determined to use that power.
This will be my year.
