Hello to my blogger family; it has been a while. I have had an eventful few weeks of traveling, seeing family and friends, and getting back into the swing of things at work. It has been all a giant blur. In fact, I can’t believe we are almost halfway done with the first month of the New Year. Over the past few weeks, there have already been many ups and downs (some more obvious than others). However, 2017 won’t get the best of me!
Let me be clear! 2017 will get the best of me, but it won’t get the best of me. Even more confused?! Let me explain:
In 2017, I am committed to living a healthy, productive lifestyle, committed to growth and change. I grew and matured so much in 2016 that I want to take it to the next level in 2017. So 2017 will get my very best. However, I will not tolerate the awful things that 2017 has in store. We all know things happen. Some things we have no control over, ad some things we do, bt we ll allow to happen. In 2017, I will respond to these situations with integrity, self-awareness, love, and peace. Yes, with love and peace. I am committed to having love and peace in 2017. It will be difficult! I think the most beautiful things are the hardest to achieve.
I spent 2016 doing the grunt work of pure healing. I cried, prayed, worked through loneliness, and overcame complacency and discontent. It wasn’t easy, but I made it through, even when I didn’t think I could. This is why 2017 won’t get the best of me. I have survived the growing pains and am happy to say I have made it this far. I cannot afford to let 2017 erase all the gains of 2016. In fact, I need to add to those gains.
This will be difficult. I may fail. However, I will get back up and try again.
Until next time:
Let God’s light shine within and through you!
