This year has been amazing in so many ways…
Everyday something happens that makes me happy to be alive! The past few years has been a journey… there’s been a lot of letting go, of accepting things for what they are, learning to let people in and be vulnerable. This is the first time in my life I can honestly say that I’ve felt free. People say that it often happens when you reach rock bottom and have no where to go but up; but with me it was more about not having the energy to worry or be afraid anymore. It’s extremely taxing to worry about the ‘what ifs’ of life… Life is too good to waste on worry, and I have other things I’m called to do. I have people to massage, to connect with, and help heal <3 I have friends and loved ones to make memories with and I have to take care of myself in the process, so I can take better care of others. I was going to write this in the morning... and how quickly our mood can change in a span of 8 hours.
I had some struggles today, but I’m writing this now because I know that not every day is supposed to be amazing, and some days we get our asses kicked! But we must never stop being grateful for what we have… and I have a lot to be grateful for.
I experienced a lot of emotion over Christmas… Some heartache and loss, but also excitement and joy. It was just what I needed this Christmas--to spend time with my family. They have always been there for me, even though we don’t always share the personal things going on in our lives. Going home is like being at Peace… and provides a warmth, as though you had never left.
I got to spend some time with friends, going out to movies and drinks, going on a private tour of a C-17, spending special moments by the fire while finding peace and an escape, connecting with clients as we both provided healing for the other. There are really too many special moments to share, that I can’t write them all down… That, I think, is a successful and beautiful year that should be praised and forever treasured!
How was this year for you?
When you look back, what is one word that describes it perfectly?
