A YEAR IN THE LIFE...

I’ve been neglecting my blog a lot lately. I’m going to make a better effort to keep it updated. There have been so many things going on lately, but my blog is very important to me, and the support that you, my dear readers have given me has been absolutely beyond words.

If someone had told me a year ago the progress I would make, I’m not quite certain I would have believed them. I started seeing my counselor a little over a year ago, and around the same time began taking my anti-anxiety medication. I began to immediately see my world in a completely different light. I followed the advice of both my regular doctor and counselor. That advice, along with a great deal of introspection and the help of my friends, I’ve arrived where I am today. And, where I am today is probably the happiest place I’ve ever been.

There have been so many changes over the last year. The demise of my relationship, putting the home up for sale, sorting out our differences, discovering who my true friends are, and discovering strengths I never even knew existed only scratch the surface of the highlights of the last year.

I’m still on a journey. I’ve not arrived yet to that ultimate place of peace, but I’ve caught some glimpses of it. It’s sweet place. I still have no relationship with my family, and am ok with that at this point. I’ve reached out. And, that’s all I know to do. I’m content with being single.

Here’s my confession: As I approach my 35th birthday on Sunday, I thought today would be a perfect time to reflect on the events of the last year. I couldn’t have done any of this without the help of my friends. Yet, I’m looking forward to even more avenues of growth as I reach 35. I have a feeling that it is going to be a great year for me.

I’m blessed far beyond measure. And, my dear friends, I think the story is just beginning…
