December is the month we celebrate birthdays, Christmas, and the end of the year. This is the time that we reflect on what we did, what we accomplished, and what we look forward to next year. I, on the other hand, will look back and see what I did not accomplish and where I see myself next year. My accomplishments this year looked different than what I had hoped for. I wanted to have a house before Christmas. That did not happen. I wanted to travel more than just my annual conference with my coworkers. That did not happen. I wanted to gain just a little of my old self. That did not happen, but as I think about what did happen, it was supposed to happen that way. I did not get the house. Instead, I looked at what was needed the most. I did not travel but discovered where I wanted to go. I made that call and gained my self-confidence back. I learned the root of why the decisions I make do not get followed through. I found that I need to adjust my self-care to better myself and my health. I learned that I need to step away from things and stop sitting at a computer every time I get home after work. It’s nice, but in the long run, it takes a toll on you. I learned that being myself and not caring what others think is the best thing for me.
This is the season of giving, but also the season of hope, love, peace, and joy. So, I hope for a better relationship with others. I may not agree with you, but that does not mean that I don’t care. I am just choosing to ignore things that I can not change. I will love myself more. I will find peace that comes with understanding. I need my peace and I need to be more independent of myself. I need my joy. I’ve been to a place where someone has stolen my joy. Never again. My joy belongs to me and I am in control. Are you in your season?
Peace, Love, and Happiness!
