Reflections
The
time between Thanksgiving and New Years is always a time of reflection for me.
It starts when I think about everything I have been and am thankful for in my
life, carries thru the Christmas spirit and on to New Years, where I don’t make
resolutions so much anymore but set goals and try to improve life for me and
those around me.
2015
was a fairly difficult year for me and most of the ones I love. There has been
more than our share of sickness, yours truly spent 104 days in VUMC or Richland
Place Rehabilitation Center trying to shake a MRSA infection in my bloodstream.
I didn’t look as sick as I felt, I hope, but it was nasty and I’m glad it’s
behind me. I am very thankful for the medical treatment and PT and OT for
getting me back on a tolerable path.
A
couple of days ago I thought I had this new year coming in figured out, at
least what I was going to be doing for most of it. There are still some primary
goals, finish the kid’s scrapbooks, continue to purge and downsize, a couple of
new pieces of furniture I want to buy. But, there are a few more changes I plan
to make, no definite plans yet, but I had an epiphany yesterday about myself
and what I deserve that is a game changer.
I think
my point is that although John Mellencamp said “life goes on, even after the
thrill of living is gone” it is up to each of us to put the thrill back in our
lives. Stay tuned!
A
wonderful, safe and healthy New Year to each and everyone of you!
