Goodbye January; this time, I won.

So long, chapter one...... you set the bar for 2025 by refusing to be easy, kicking me around, making me dig deep just to stay focused, and more or less, I did. January wasn't everything I'd planned it to be, but neither was anything else; it seems that for some reason our family traditionally finds the first month of the year really challenging. (Maybe so we become tough enough to survive the rest of the year? 🤪)

Resilience, one of my "Word of the Year" choices, is not something you can just get, order, or start doing - it must be gradually assimilated into one's attitude as a way of life; a mindset. In the last 18 months I've had many, MANY reasons and opportunities to work on developing internal skills ans staying power, on so many levels, so in a way, I'm much better off than a year ago at this time. And that IS the secret to success; drawing strength from adversity, power from struggle, and vision from darkness. THAT is how we get better, push ourselves forward, and thrive. ✨️🙌

January.....you fought hard to take me out, all those previous years.... but this time, I fought back. 💪
