A Reflection on 2015
I enjoy looking back on my year and thinking about all that has happened, both good and bad. Making peace with the bad, taking in lessons learned, relishing in the most positive of memories, and imagining what is to come in the following year. I then can move forward with positive energy. This year was just a year of many changes. Settling into a new home, starting to run, clean eating, college graduation, new jobs, passions being worked on, etc. It seemed to ring true that the only thing constant is change, and I just learned to go with the changes as the year went along. I have learned plenty through all these changes and am thankful that I can move forward into 2016 with this knowledge and these experiences.
10 things 2015 has taught me:
- Embracing change makes life much easier and more enjoyable.
- Some friends are not true friends and some friends are family.
- Dreams can be accomplished through hard work and determination.
- New fitness trends and ideas do not always stick.
- Eating clean is life changing.
- Being present in each moment can be challenging but is always rewarding.
- Being married is still awesome.
- Traveling is an educational, cultural, enjoyable experience only allotted to some and I am thankful.
- Taking care of oneself is of utmost importance.
- God is the writer of my story and though it may be challenging at times, I have faith that His plans are better than my own.
