Happy New Year

And yes it will be. Tis the season for self reflection and promises of personal betterment. I haven't really believed in New Years resolutions, but there is something I truly need to focus on this year and that is myself and well being. I need more candles, hot tea, quiet reflection, prayer and gratitude. I need to become happier with me and appreciative of everything around me. In the with positive and out with the negative.

In the stress of life over the last couple years I have become an increasingly self conscious and insecure person, needy to those around me and unable to cope. It all began on the downhill with the ex and his desire to control me, slowly eating away at my self confidence. But honestly that was long enough ago that it's beyond time to reclaim my life and live in this amazingness that I have now. I'm seeking anti-stress and anxiety medication, which will hopefully be a short-term assistance to the happier life I'm seeking.

But I am a crazy lucky girl. I have an amazing man who loves me and changed his life to help better mine. He may not be the most romantic, but relationships aren't made of grand gestures, but of every day life. I own my own business and successfully, I might add. I have a fantastic house in my dream neighborhood and my sweet little Misty is finishing out her life in peace with a yard and personal space. My family is loving and supportive and close by; my boyfriend's family has taken me in as their own as I am without expectation of change. I have collected great friends along my life across the World and with modern technology I'm able to appreciate and love them.

New Year. New Positive Energy. It begins today. And I'm the only one that can commit to make the change. Relying on other people for happiness is part of how I got here in the first place! I make my own happy place and I control my reactions to life.
