A Happy 2015
Wow been a while since I posted here. I won't be making any promises as keeping a journal up or keeping people up to date on here. I'll post when and where I feel like it just fyi.
As for 2015 Happy New Year everyone, even though I am five days late. :) The new year is treating me rather nicely thus far. Much better than the craptastic start, middle, and end of 2014. Last couple of months I've gone to my therapist and gotten myself mentally back to a state of mind that I can say is pretty promising. I've learned about myself and others along the way and I hope that journey will continue. The past does not dictate me as much as the present does now. Boy what a present. Although Christmas was a bust, I got three friends to visit this weekend. Two had never visited before another was a couple of months in coming. I got them lobster as one was from Florida and the other from Iowa. Not many lobsters in a land locked state. I should add that lobster right now is cheaper than the once a week steak I treat myself to, might have to make an adjustment there *laughs*. Also got to introduced someone to snow for the first time in their lives. They say it's the simple things that count and as I stood there shoveling snow, hating the cold, snow, and winter season in the next coming months, there was someone who was quite gleefully shoveling snow. It made me realize even more that the things I take for granted are often times very special to other people. I was also reminded that although I can't get around as much as I would like, I am missed and people do want me around. That's the trouble with isolation makes you think no one cares when you could be completely wrong.
So the first 5 days of 2015 are off to a great start and it looks like things will continue to get better! :) Big changes will be coming for this year. Some I am honestly afraid to do but it has to be done. People are afraid of change, and heaven knows so do I. But change is inevitable and often as I have found out recently can lead to great and beautiful things. Things you never would think possible.
So happy New Year to everyone. Hope it's as good for you as it has been for me and if it isn't I hope it will get better for you! *hugs*
