Isn't this photo so cheesy?! Ha! So is my title!
2011 started off feeling a lot like 2010, but I'm really glad it didn't end up that way. I remember talking to a friend in May. She was talking about how much she loved being in her 50s, and it made me wish I could just fast-forward 20 years. But since that's not an option, I've decided to embrace each year as an opportunity to grow into who I should be. From that vantage point 2011 was everything it needed to be.
- The widow brain fog started lifting.
- And because I could feel myself thinking more clearly, I made plans.
- And because I had legit plans, I started school!
(I know I mentioned it already, but it's the best GPA I've had...ever! It's the first time I've cared about school too...)
- Getting proactive felt right (and good).
(Not that I didn't figure that one out 2+ years ago.)
- I learned to be kinder to myself; meaning more patient. Things don't have to happen as quickly as I want them to.
- I learned more of what it means to sacrifice for your child when they need you. It's limitless.
- I got a little reckless... And learned how much I love it!!
(And jumpsuits make everything that much more fabulous.)
- I cut energy drainers out, and replaced them with funner people.
(Side note: If you're playing the role of victim in your life, in need of a therapist, or can't stop being such a drag...we're not meant to be! But I wish you all the best! :))
- This statement couldn't be truer!
Hahahaha!! It's a T. Thorpe original.
- I adopted a mantra.
It will be.
Love.
