Yep... that says "Jemmy" and is kind of an indication of how my actual birthday went. I had to work and it was a long, complicated day. The upside is that I had 2 cakes and 2 dozen cupcakes and my grandson and his mom sent me flowers:
Anyway, my birthday isn't what I wanted to talk about today...at least not directly. Generally, every year around this time I go into a pretty big funk. I don't know if it's because my birthday reminds me of the passing of time and I usually don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything or what exactly it is but it happens every year. Except this year. This year feels different.
I've had a rough summer. Physically, emotionally, personally, and professionally it's just been a challenge. Now, I find myself coming out on the other side feeling hopeful for the future...at least 85% of the time. I'm in the home stretch with school, things are better at home, I'm feeling pretty confident at work, and we have a lot of big plans for the near future. It's liberating to feel positive about life. I never really realized how much energy it takes to be sad.
So here's to the next year that is sure to be full of change and excitement!
Peace!
