Happy New year everyone! Remember when you were little and you thought that by 2016 we would all be floating around in space cars like the Jetsons? No? Oh, well, maybe that was just me then. Anyway, as I wrote yesterday, heading into 2016 I feel different than I have in the past. Instead of creating goals and trying to figure out how I want the next year to go, I kind of feel like I have no idea about anything. In some ways that's absolutely terrifying.... but in other ways, like I realized late last night (after quite a bit of wine, so maybe I should take this all with a grain of salt), maybe it should also be exciting. Truth is, I don' know what this year holds or how it will all turn out. I don't know what to look forward to or what to plan or not plan for, but one thing seems pretty certain and that is that this will most likely be a year of self-discovery. It has to be.... (you can't get any lower than "I don't know" can you?!?!)
I don't think that I've really spent all that much time investing in myself these past few years. Actually, I don't think I've really put too much focus on myself at all since the year I lost 130lbs! Before this new year started thought (so like, over the past several weeks and months), it's seemed like life keeps throwing me into the corner and putting me in time out. It's like it's telling me, slow down, take a minute, think about what's going on. Personally I have a hard time stopping to smell the roses. I like to plow through life, going from one task to another, feeling like I am doing something but not really taking the time to really enjoy what I am doing. Maybe life's trying to do me a favor. Maybe what feels like I forced punishment is really a loving parents telling me I need to rest. Maybe all of this will be for the best. I guess we shall see....if anything, it will be interesting. So here we go...Day 1 (Feel free K-Love or Fish listeners to start singing "It's day one of the rest of my life" by Matthew West here as we fade out!)
