As I sit here and reflect on 2016, I have realized this has been one of the best years I have had. I believe it is because I choose to make this year all about me. Might seem a bit selfish but sometimes it has to be that way in order for you to help take care of others you need to take care of you.
I started a long time ago to finish my education and was a huge goal for 2016 to make sure I did exactly that. It has been one year since I have retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and it was time to finish what I had started all those years ago. As of December 2016 I did exactly that and finished with my AAS with Major in Accounting.
I also started on another journey that I have had a problem with for many years. Crossfit was something I had heard of and was scared to try. More than a few occasions I walked in the door and walked right the hell back out. Who in the right mind sweats like that and gets beat and comes back the next day to say, Hi, Im here to take another beating. Well ladies and gents that would be me. I will say I stepped into the gym end of May 2106 and it started my journey and love for exercise that I never thought I would find. I did stop for college and my full time job but guess what I am back at it and I love the fact its family and fun. Here is to 2017.
So many other things happened, I found my love for photography again and for other things and getting the nerve to finally feel like i am really worth more than what I think I am. This is huge for me and I hope to find more of my self worth in 2017. I can't wait to share more of my journey so I will be coming back to my blog again at least weekly so I can read how my life has been coming along. This is more for myself than for anyone else.
Enjoy your life because that is the only one you have.
Happy New Year Everyone 2016 has been fabulous but I think 2017 is going to be even better.
