So last week I completed another trip around the sun and celebrated my 44th birthday with family, old friends, and new friends. Be I also spent time reflecting on the past year of my life. It was a good, but challenging year.
Some of the good:
- my book was published and is now carried at several major book retailers in digital and print format.
- My kids and I all survived a year of school.
- We made new friends.
- I got to take my family to New York and DC.
- I’ve learned more about my anxiety, how my brain works with it and more of my triggers to help alleviate severe bouts of anxiety.
- I lost fewer days to migraine than previous years.
- My son was finally, officially, diagnosed with Autism.
Some of the challenges:
- My anti anxiety medicine caused more side effects than help.
- My son was diagnosed with Autism, so now starts the challenge of getting him an education appropriate for him.
- I was one of several defendants in a civil lawsuit, which brought many horrible life experiences back to the front of my mind and emotions.
- I still lost some days to migraine.
Overall, this past year was great. I will look back on it with fond memories, every year brings it’s new struggles and the positive memories of the past year, as well as my family and friends will give me the strength I need as I begin a new trip around the sun.
