“I say, the end of a year should be filled with congratulation, for all we survived.” – by Donna Ashworth
In 2022, Between August 1st and November 15th – I spend a week in Maine with family on the beach, I spent a week in California visiting my father in law dying of lung cancer, I spent a long weekend in Fort Collins, Colorado helping my niece select her wedding dress, I spent 10 days cruising down the Seine River from Paris to Normandy and back again, I spent another week in California after my father in law died cleaning out his house. I learned to go with the flow and enjoy the journey(ies).
In 2022, I did some form of workout for 262 days. It started out with Hasfit and morphed into a Schwinn spin bike which lasted about a month before I bought a Peloton Bike+. It has changed my game! I can bike, lift weights, follow month-long programs, meditate, do yoga, and stretching, and follow outdoor walking and running workouts. I’ve always enjoyed working out on my own but with Peloton, I feel really connected to other people.
In 2022, I learned to take care of myself. To put my oxygen mask on first in order to help others. I had spiritual reading in March and a Tarot card reading in June. Both have helped guide me in my work and personal life. I’m still a work in progress!
In 2022, I had some health issues. I had 2 tears (rips) in my left retina that needed to be lasered closed. If you ever see flashing silver and floaters, don’t wait – call your eye doctor! They are no joke. I had some heart palpitations that turned out to be nothing, but I did go on Crestor to help keep that plaque flowing and not sticking to my arteries. The important thing is – I took care of them.
In 2022, I worked in our office but managed to hand off some of my workload to the two people in our office who are going to keep moving us forward. It helped me focus more on the other two jobs I have there! This year I’m hoping to relinquish the client portion completely and tighten up the “behind the scenes” responsibilities.
In 2022, I felt myself laughing a little more and dancing around the room if I felt like it – with or without music.
Here’s to 2023!
