Saying Good-Bye to 2015!

Happy New Year's week! Be prepared for the best of 2015 every where! Even with all the busyness around us, take some quiet time to yourself to reflect. What happened this year that was great? What can you do to keep that up? What didn't you enjoy? What can you do differently this next year to make sure nothing brings you down? It is all in your attitude - focus on taking care of yourself and looking at the positive side. It will help, trust me!

This year started in a new relationship that was what I had been looking for - someone who had their own life, was supportive of mine, and didn't try to merge us into one right away.  It was wonderful! Unfortunately, it ended 8 months into the year.  Even though it was devastating, I learned I deserve A LOT and even if someone seems like they are everything I need, they may not be but at least I am shown that before too much time has passed.  The one God has for me is out there and I will meet him when it is time!  I'll be 35 this year and still have plenty of life left to share with someone.

A few months in the year, I got my DUI.  That was also devastating but I have grown so much for it and continue to grow.  I am now seeing a general counselor just to talk about life and look for ways for me to help increase my confidence so I can always be my true self no matter what.

I am excited to see what 2016 brings!  As long as there is joy (I will be an aunt for the fourth time!!!) and love, it will be great!

Friendship

Ha ha!!!  So I called it, I am horrible at this daily post thing...I just have to make it habit.  I have done it with other things.  Just set aside some time each day to come on here and chat it up about the good things in life!

So, some things have happened since my last post which have taught me two things:

1. If you have a feeling about someone based on their previous behavior, you will be proved correct.  This happened with the "friend" I referred to previously where things changed in my life and I felt a lack of support from her.  She opted to go on Facebook and bash me about who I was and my past.  What is funny is the things she said where exactly what I had voiced to her that I was changing.  And it just goes to show that whatever we had wasn't a real friendship.  It saddened me...more for the fact that it cemented any concerns I had.  I really wish it would have ended differently or not at all but at least now I can move forward without a doubt in my mind whether opening up with my feelings was the right thing to do.

2. There are good people out there who will love and accept you for who you are!  You only life once so make sure to find these people in your life.  Don't get stuck with someone because you are shy when meeting new people or you don't want to hurt someone who has been there for you.  If they are a true friend, he or she will be happy for you to spread your wings and fly!  And the shyness thing - you are an awesome person and anyone would love to have you as a friend.  Just remember that!
