Happy New Year 2025!!
I've read so many posts tonight with a common
theme ~ an excitement to be done with 2024 with,
as so many have shared "the bad year I wish never
happened." I'm so sad for this common sentiment.
As someone who has had some not so great times
in my own life, including moves far from family,
the losses of parents and grandparents, the tragic
losses of 8 of our 12 babies, and disappointments
with moments that didn't quite work out. I'm sad
because even though any type of loss or not so great
experience can make us wish for better, there is a
lesson to be learned from the bad things that happen
to good people. Or the things we can't control that
make life difficult for a time. The lesson is what we
decide to do with anything that life throws at us. I
do firmly believe we have choices, not in what did
take place, but how we'll navigate it. We can give up,
lean in, ignore it, or grow and heal. I choose the last
one, even if at times it appears it will never be ok. I
do believe things can turn around, and with intention,
we can learn so it doesn't happen again, or we can
be better than the experience. I hope this all makes
sense. I hope that whoever is having a difficult time,
remember that you are alive, breathing and every
morning is a new day. Namaste for whatever life
has sent your way. Be well. Stay safe. Live and love.
