Happy New Year to you ALL. I hope this year so far has been nothing short of amazing for you. Whether you set new intentions and goals or decide not to, I always feel like a New Year brings a fresh start for everyone. It feels like it is for me. My hope is that you all walked out of 2023 with lessons learned, goals met, and good memories to last a lifetime. I hope that you were able to find yourself throughout the hard times and come out a stronger person. Most importantly, I hope that you were able to spend enough time with those loved ones who are or aren’t here with us anymore.

This year, personally, I don’t want a “New Year, New Me” motto. This year, I want the same ME but a better version of myself. I want a more PRESENT, more LOVING, more PATIENT me. I want to be the BEST mom I can be to my kids. I want to continue to watch my kids play and then fight, even if it drives me crazy. I want to RUN. LIKE A LOT. I want to travel with my family. I want to be an early bird. I want to continue enjoying time with my parents while god allows me to. I want to spend a lot of time with Grampa. I want to be the best wife I can be to my husband. I wish to be the example of a good person to my siblings. I want to be the best auntie. I want to not always be right, but always be KIND. As I am writing this out, I remember what our priest said two weeks ago at mass. He talked about how our life is better when we are really present and living in the moment. And always with God in our lives. It is true. My life has been better with him in my life. Among many things he taught me last year is that I can pray for someone when I can’t help them in other ways. Our priest encouraged us to stop chasing followers and follow God instead. Funny, he said that because I had just been looking back at the previous year, and I wasted more time than I wished I had on social media. Time I could have spent living.

I don’t know what 2024 will look like, but it’s going to be a GOOD one. Here’s to all your dreams becoming a reality, your problems not being as big as they seem, and spending time with the people you love and doing all the things you really want to do.

Happy 2024
