I thought about writing a wrap up of the year that was and talk about the year that's here but, meh... who wants to hear a list of resolutions that will not be achieved?
Is it a good idea to look behind you do you think? If you do, how far do you look back? Early childhood? Mine was shady. Teen years? Mine was shady. 20s? Shady, married, shady, shady. 5 years ago? I was with the person who ultimately abused me, the same person who gave me two incredibly beautiful children. The last year? Twas a collection of 'swings and carousels' (my mother in law uses that term).
Ultimately, as of today... I'm relatively healthy (although, you know kinda overweight but hey I discovered the reason for that comes down to Insulin Resistance and so I'm on medication that can help), I have three beautiful children who are thriving, I have a chap who drives me crackers but BOUGHT ME A TICKET TO SEE BEN HARPER and a collection of friends who support and encourage me, I cherish them. If you look at just this paragraph you'll see that I do have so much more than so many others.
Financially I struggle, I farewelled people significant to my life, my home is literally falling down but I'm here and I'm standing tall.
How far forward do you look? In 10 years I'll be in my forties and I hope that I have raised three beautiful, decent human beings. In 5 years my hope is more or less the same. And this year? What could I want to achieve in 2016? I want for myself to take better care of both my physical and mental health. I want to be more tolerant of people.
