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? ðŸĪŠ)


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. 💊
