Hello lovelies! It has been a while, a long while. I missed this. I missed you. Let’s start with a quick recap. I went back to work full-time in 2022 and in the Summer of 2024, I took on a second job at my kids school, so now I’m mega-overdoing it with two jobs, but it’s been a ride. Sadly we lost our cat Ember in September and there will forever be a void in my heart. We got chickens and it is the coolest experience ever, collecting fresh eggs daily has been such a treat. We have not stopped revamping our home, DIY for the win. Both kids are in elementary school *insert mindblown emoji*. There is probably so much more but I honestly can’t even remember, it’s been a year.
As I reflect on what 2024 gave me and what I can think of is courage. I developed some pretty bad health anxiety which of course, also triggers my normal anxiety and depression. After being scooped, poked and prodded, I have to believe I am okay, even though the silly little mind of mine says I am not. I have some temperamental acid reflux I like to say, she’s a moody queen.
There is no resolution for me, rather, to live every day like it’s my last, and put the “hate” behind me. I want to do better and be better for myself, for my beautiful children and for my family. My struggles with anxiety dont only affect me, they affect everyone. If you know someone with anxiety and or depression, give them a hug.
So… let us raise a bevy of choice, and cheers to doing better in 2025 🥂
