What an amazing ride!

Thanksgiving was a crazy week.  But I definitely did some reflecting.

I am grateful for the wonderful people in my life at this time.  Those new and old.  For my kids who keep me going and make me realize how blessed I am each day.  My parents who without them I would not be the person I am.  They have made me strong and given me more than I could ever ask for.  My friends who are always there no matter what.  To pick me up when i'm down and celebrate when i'm up.  As Christmas approaches and all the stress that goes along with, I am having to sit back and just take a deep breath.  The dating and love life have taken a back seat to my life, mainly because I am not worrying, just having fun.  Being with people who make me happy and don't bring tons of baggage and drama.  Keeping it simple is key at this point.  Not being afraid to try new experiences has been another big step.  Reconnecting with people from my past has been another hurdle.  Not worrying and just being me..

I'm trying very hard to get into the Christmas spirit, mainly for my kids.  But it's been hard.  Christmas has never really been an enjoyable time for me, even growing up.  But i'm trying to put on a good face.  This is also my last week in my 20's so reflection has definitely been going full force.  What a rollercoaster ride the last year has been.  I'm hopeful for the future where as a year ago, the future was not looking very good.  But I am hoping it's time to start new and hopefully find that perfect person for me, to spend the rest of my life with.  Until then, it's about having the experience and having fun....
