A sleeping baby next to me. The annual seafood chowder warming on the stove. The delightful giggles of daddy and son playing. A hot tea in hand. How can I ask for a better way to send out 2012?!
This last year has seen it's share of ups and downs. We had troubles conceiving. The pressure of trying to have a baby took it's toll on hubby and I. I finally admitted, to myself mostly, that I was beyond 'in a funk' and started treatment for depression (once again). I also conquered my GIANT fear of driving and got a vehicle. We got pregnant and brought our beautiful baby boy into the world, completing our family. We moved out of our tiny downtown apartment and into a house with a yard. I've said goodbye to some old friendships and relationships, and welcomed some new ones. My relationship with hubby has grown stronger and we are more in love than ever. I'm utterly in love with my life right now.
If I had to think of what my greatest lesson of this past year was, it would be: I AM WORTH IT. I am worth the time and effort. I am worthy of good friends and family in my life. I am worth more than I give myself credit for. I need to be healthy and happy because I AM WORTH IT.
Well that's enough reflection for me today... I will finish my tea while it's still warm (that rarely happens these days!). I hope 2013 brings you much happiness, much peace, and even a little whimsy now and then. Happy New Year!
