This is my first post of 2015. I love that I am sharing it
with you, my fellow A to Zer’s. As I sit here, propped up in bed after a day on
the road, the last of my “holiday travel” I have no clue what to write about. I
want to give amazing advice, wonderful words, be a meaningful model but all of
that falls short of what my heart is full of right now. What my heart is still “digesting”
is how lucky I am. I had a wonderful time with my family over the last few
weeks, and with loving friends. Connections were made and previous ones
renewed. I go into this new year with a feeling of hope and of being loved
after some really hard moments in 2014. I know that I am not alone in my hopeful
feelings, but I am also aware that not everyone was as lucky as I was in 2014.
So if I have one thing I will take away from last year and all its trials and
joys, that one thing is that I am grateful, I am honored, I am aware and want
to share the blessings I have been given. I know we are often told, "don't look back," but I hope that as you begin your new
year you do have a moment to, instead of only looking forward or making new year’s
resolutions, look back and think on what you have learned from the last 365
days, what you might have to offer to the universe for the blessings you had,
or if your year was not so great, that looking back might give you the strength
to make this year better. A new year is upon us. 365 chances to make good. I’m
going to do my best to make something I can be proud of with those chances.
This post is, I hope, a good example. Because for someone who didn’t know what she wanted to
say here this time, guess I found something to write about after all.
