Welcoming the New Year!

I'm 36 years old and just now getting to know who I am, what I enjoy, and who I am becoming.  That seems pretty weird to me, but it doesn't take away from the experience.  I've faced challenges like most everyone else, but I haven't lost trust in people.  I'm meeting new people and learning more about myself because of it.  I'm finding a voice to speak up on how I feel and what I think.  I'm looking forward to 2016 and what it brings, what I get to experience, and the relationships that will form.

Part of my New Year celebration, was enjoying some alone time.  I got to spend time at one of my favorite local places, read, relax, and process where I've been and where I am now.  It led to tears and excitement all at the same time...if that even makes sense.  I'm most thankful for my kids and for the encouraging and loving relationships that have gotten me through the tough times.
