New Years has always been one of my favorite parts of the year. To me, the start of a new year signifies a whole new start to life. An opportunity to let go of what came before and start again, hopefully with much better success then before. This new year is especially full of hope and promise for me.
The last year of my life was filled with some of the lowest lows I could have every imagined, all resulting from a lifetime of lows that had built up until I reached the breaking point. There were days when I didn’t think anything would ever be good again, but I kept going. I did the scary part and reached out for help. I did the hard part and kept fighting to beat the fear when it seemed so much easier to give up and hide away for the rest of my life. It took time and a lot of work, but by the end of the year things started to get good again.
Now here I am at the start of another new year and this time, I know it will be good. I’ve got a job I love. My relationships with my family, although not perfect, are much healthier than they’ve ever been. I’m enjoying life and I’m learning to enjoy people, too. Best of all, my relationship with God has become a huge, important part of my life and I believe it is one of the keys to the positive turn my life has taken. When my life was shattered in a million broken pieces, I chose to dump those pieces in His hands and He did the amazing job of putting them all back together better than I ever could have myself. If I hadn’t put him at the center of my healing, I seriously doubt I would have succeeded as well as I have.
There are so many things I have to be grateful for as I start out this exciting, brand new year. Just thinking about all of it makes my heart squeeze with joy. Do I still have resolutions for the new year? Of Course! Don’t we all? God may be perfect but I still have a long way to go!
My resolutions for this year:
- Keep making time for God in my life and never loose sight of Him.
- Find a new doctor I feel truly comfortable with.
- Get my hypothyroidism under control.
- Loose enough weight to feel healthy again.
- Keep giving my boss reasons to say “great job!” (I love hearing those words!)
- Meet new people and make more friends.
- Keep loving ME!
I hope the year 2005 will be as wonderfull for all of you as I intend to make it for myself!
