Happy Holiday Season Everyone!
Hope you get to spend as much time as you can with your loved ones and friends. To me, that is what the holiday season is about. :-)
I know I should of been blogging a few months ago but life has been hectic. Between planning a wedding, getting a promotion at work, and balancing out time for others and myself, it has been a whirlwind. I have described it as a roller coaster with those closest to me.
2015 has been an up and down year for me. For starters, my engagement changed things in my household. What was a "me" thing is becoming a "we" thing. I remember sitting in my nurse managers office during our annual review time and telling her that the only thing that was changing on my end was that I was getting married. Little did I know, it was a major change, and I only shrugged it off as a no big deal thing.
A few months ago, I found myself sitting in the doctors office with weird aches, pains, and overall not feeling physically well. Little did I know, I was having a panic attack. I have never experienced that before in my life. I thought other medical issues where going on. I couldn't believe it and felt like an idiot when the doctor came in and asked what other stressors where going on in my life. I had been caught up in the midst of things, trying to internalize everything that what it ended up doing was making me physically ill.
It was then that I realized that I had to change. I knew I couldn't stay the same person and expect everything to be okay. Not only did I have to change for myself, but for Adam, my family, friends, and the patients who depend on me. I know a panic attack is not the best thing in the world but for me, if I didn't experience it, I would have not had the courage to change. The panic attack was a blessing in disguise.
I found a few things a while ago that I wrote down in previous years that were goals for whatever year I was in or coming into. To my surprise, everything I wrote down, I accomplished in that year. So to get "back to the basics" so to speak, I wrote down specifically goals I want to accomplish for 2016. I am also thinking about a new project for this blog and to collaborate with my hubby to be, Adam. I am so excited to share this new chapter with you all. Ultimately, I am hoping that it will start to generate and grow for 2016.
I am looking forward to 2016 in a major way. I hope you are too and are being intentional about the goals you are setting for yourselves in the new year. Happy Holidays once again. I will see you all in February for a new year of blogging and new adventures!
With all the love my heart can hold,
