I have been debating for the past month about whether to share this post or not, and concluded that I am gonna take a chance and share a little bit of me.
My motto for this past year has been, "it is what it is". Sometimes you have things totally planned out and think everything is peachy keen only to find out that is not the case. A year ago today, my life was turned upside down and I was left feeling broken and incomplete. Everything I had ever known was ripped away and I was left staring in the mirror at a person I didn't recognize.
Luckily, I am surrounded my the MOST incredible (the word does not do them justice) people. My family, friends and co-workers lifted me back up, and gently patted me on the butt and encouraged me to move along.
And so I did....and let me just tell you what an incredible journey it has been so far. It sounds silly but this past year has taught me many things....
- It's okay to let your guard down a bit and cry
- Sometimes strangers can offer comfort you didn't know possible
- The kindness of people in my life is astounding and humbling
- Sometimes the I-tunes free song of the week, describes your life/situation perfectly
- Going out with the girls and getting really drunk, does make you feel better (even if only temporarily)
- I'm stronger now, then I have ever been before because of my friends and family and I don't know how I will ever thank them enough (thank you!)
So as I reflect on a year of pain and discomfort, I can honestly say that I am done mourning, done thinking what might have been and closed that book and dropped it in the garbage. My new book has a lot of empty pages, but the few that are filled out have made me smile, laugh and not look back. I look forward to the journey ahead and know that the best is yet to come.
