Happy New Year Everyone!!!
So out with the old and in with the new, the struggles of 2016 cannot be compared to the joy that awaits in 2017. Call me an optimist, because I feel so much joy about this year.
New Year brings new blessings!
Reflection
Last year my New Year's resolution was to smile and laugh more. Well, let's just say that was put to the test, that resolution wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. I won't count myself out though, because I fought a good fight through the ups and downs. Sometimes it's not about winning or loosing, it's about learning from the journey. The lessons I learned from the journey has made me stronger and wiser. I really don't think it's possible to fail at a New Year's resolution, it's all about choosing to go on the journey and then giving it my best try. The journey has taught me a lot about life and it's taught me a lot about myself. I realize that I am stronger than I thought I was. There is wisdom and strength to be found in the journey! All of the trials and struggles build character, and I am better because of it. When I go about my everyday life, I always look for something to learn from my circumstances. Whether I have a good day or a bad day, I look for the "silver lining" in my journey. There are certain tools that I use to give me comfort and maintain inner peace. My go to is scriptures and I also like to read inspiring quotes. Prayer also gives me great comfort and it help me to stay centered and focused on the important things. Prayer is the anchor that keeps me pushing through the storms of life. I am thankful for the lessons and victories of 2016, now I am ready to embrace the blessings of 2017. I am also excited to make another New Year's resolution to see where the journey takes me.
My New Year's Resolution
This year my New Year's resolution is to make personal time for myself and to engage in activities that will improve my overall health. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed with the busyness of my life. Don't get me wrong! I love being a wife and mother along with all the other roles I play, but sometimes I just want to be Cassie. I have a tendency to overdo things sometimes, I call this "running around like a chicken with it's head cut off syndrome." After I am done running around overdoing things I feel physically and mentally tired. What am I trying to prove anyway? I am only human! I can be a busy mom and wife and still get in time for myself. I realize that I have to be healthy and happy before I can serve the people that I love. So this year I will be on a journey of self-care, health and wellness. Maybe, I will join a painting class or maybe I will join a yoga class, the sky is the limit. I am ready to explore the possibilities that awaits me, I am sure that this time of self-care will help me to be a healthier and happier me. I hope that this year will be a great year for you too, wishing you good health and happiness.
- Cassie
