The last few days have been somewhat intense. Not all from a negative perspective. My husband had his own revelations about himself and our relationship and some good things were discussed. Making the drunken evening prior a lot easier to digest.
New years is always one of those times we tend to get dressed up, drink and celebrate the year past and the year to come. For me though the last few years have been very challenging! And 2014 was at times brutal.
High notes-
I got a promotion.
got back into my youtube channel
senior pics
got to expand my networks
began new friendships
worked with Manual Villegas (celebrity makeup artist)
had various professional makeup opportunities
my folks came to visit from australia
Tougher moments-
My thyroid got really low and wreaked havoc on our lives
Teenage children (need i say more)
Australia sick (homesick)
Hubby and i had some rough patches
house fire
minor indoor floods and corresponding damages
terminate damage
no more pets :(
there was probably more in both the good and not so good moments, but you get the idea.
ANYWAY, during my years reflection
I have come to the conclusion, life is simply a series of moments and none are truly good nor bad. They are simply whatever we perceive them to be. There will always be something going on, and its how we choose to see it, attach or detach to it, and what emotion we add to it that determines its value. Isn't it so much easier to add extreme negativity to something that seems not good than it is to be ecstatic over something great?
My focus this year is to stop emotionally attaching to the outcome of events and circumstances. I want to simply enjoy everything as it is, in that moment. Understanding that nothing is neither good nor bad in my life until i give it that title. That everything serves its purpose and that life is about learning and applying the knowledge of those lessons. I can learn to enjoy all things, even the things that make me sad. For there are those things that are here to bless my life and give me much joy. And there will be things that are sent to grow and challenge me to be a great mother, wife, friend and leader. And its in the recognition of this fact that will enable me to find joy, when there seems to be none to find.
2015 is my year of renewed perspective!
