Happy New Year: 2019

Happy New Year everyone! Hope all of you were able to spend the Holidays surrounded by your loved ones and yummy food...minus the overeating part, that's never a good idea. Ask me how I know?

Seems like 2018 just flew by. Had this conversation with several acquaintances and friends, we all came to the same conclusion, it seems like once you become an adult, the years just fly on by. Whereas when one is attending school for instance, things go so slow...except maybe for Summer and Spring break.

Thought the hashtag #bestnine was a brilliant idea. Looking back at 2018, I cannot help but to just smile. Prior to 2018 I used to have theme songs for each year, now I opt for a particular word I try to adhere to all throughout the year. Last year my word was 'abundance'. So needless to say, I didn't hold back, on any front. I decided that it was time to accept what God has in store for me. It's a work in progress, but I'm getting there.

This year, my word is 'serenity'. Right now this translates itself in putting together a playlist of songs that exude that particular sentiment. But also staying away from drama masquerading itself as 'news', that may deteriorate me from the path I want to travel on. This may even result in much less time spent on Facebook, but we will see.

Last year went unexpectedly well, this year has started out with a few minor unfortunate events, but as I have noticed: I am better equipped to deal with the everyday stressors of life this time around. Good for me.

My hope for each and every one of you is that 2019 brings you more clarity, that inch you closer to your ultimate goals in life. No distractions. No false pretenses. Just the tried, tested and real stuff...such as love, peace, joy, happiness, friendship and family of course.
