Flew into the New Year

I imagined that I was going to fly into the new year with all these new ideas and activities. I was going to start the year out strong. But instead, I FLU into the new year. Yes, you guessed it. I was sick at the end of the year, for the second year in a row. And not just the end of the year. I was sick on the same exact weekend that I was last year. What are the chances? The forces are strong in my life.

Anyhow, by being sick, it made me realize how grateful I am for my health. Although I had many ups and downs health wise in 2022, I had not been this sick for a while. I may have only missed out on three days of work, but I was sick for a total of 13 days. It was intense until I started feeling better around day seven. That is when I started to be feel energized again, I was not so exhausted all the time. It was great.

And although this might sounds crazy, I am kind of glad to kick off the new year off being sick (except for missing out on New Years celebrations for the second straight year), as it has reminded me of how fragile and wonderful life can be. It is a blessing to wake up each and every day, to be able to accomplish whatever you put your mind too. Sure, each of us have our own hurdles to push through and navigate in our lives. But life is a gift. Even if it takes an injury, illness, death of a loved one, breakup, failure, or live lesson to remind you of such.

With that being said, I hope you never have to experience any of the above situations, but when you do, I hope you are able to find some positives in the negative. After all, no matter how hard the situation may be, there is always good that will come of it.

“Its possible to find a silver lining in every situation. The harder it is to find, the brighter it will shine.”

With that, have a beautiful, fun, amazing week! Comment below what you did to celebrate the new year.
