Is another year really (almost) over?
Hard to believe that 2014 is in the books. Thinking back to New Years Eve 2013, and I was having lunch with two of my best friends (lunch that turned into a five hour sit-and-gab-forever fest). I was pregnant. I was happy with an underlying thread of fear. I was tired.
Great things have happened this year. Obviously, the birth of my daughter tops the list. I’ve strengthened friendships and let others go. I lost a great friend to cancer. I’ve changed jobs and traded an hour long commute each way for a quick, 20-minute ride (the only time I wished for a longer commute was when I was bingeing on Serial podcasts). I’ve experienced postpartum depression and am now on the other side (thanks, hormones). I’ve started writing for an online magazine. I’ve sort of ignored this blog. I cut my hair, and then let it grow. I’ve lost two of my three beloved dogs and I’m surprisingly ok with just having one right now. I’m more determined than ever to get Hank’s Hope back up and in gear this year. I’m playing some more tennis and am REALLY trying to get to yoga more often.
I don’t really make resolutions in January. A friend of mine always talks about making routines instead of resolutions, so that’s what I’m going to try this year. Hoping my journey continues to be fun in 2015.
