How does an entire year fly by so fast? It's insanity. The past 12 months have been a blur of emotions, heartbreaks, new beginnings, fears, tears, sunshine and rain. I have learned so many things about myself. I have learned that I may feel like I'm breaking but I am not breakable. I have learned that being a single mom can truly rock your socks off. I've learned that laughter is essentially the best medicine. I have learned that humor can get you from A to B like nobody's business. I have learned that my rediscovery of my love for music (it was never really lost but I've fallen in love all over again) has helped me through some of the darkest nights imaginable. I have learned that nothing can ever take the place of my girlfriends and true friendship. I have learned that my family is stronger/more amazing than I EVER realized. I have learned to value every day, every breath, every moment like I never thought I would. I have learned that I am one hilarious, witty and phenomenal young lady (you know it too). I have learned that there's so much more to "religion" than just going to church and shouting "hallelujah"...although those things are good too. I have learned that my little daughters look at me as so much more than just "Mommy". I have learned that being outside is God's way of treating Jessica's case of the blues.
I am so super stoked for yet another year to be Mommy. Another year to enjoy this amazing place we live in. Another year to laugh, love, sing, dance, cry, smile, hug, kiss, run, drive, enjoy, drink, gaze, be in awe of, another year to LIVE. No complaints in this blog. No single mom/single lady woes in this blog post. My heart is full of nothing but contentment...being where I am, now, here. Cheers to a new year, guys! But first, maybe we should get over this little thing called "Christmas", huh? I have a tendency of getting ahead of myself.
