When looking back over the past year 2012 and 2013 seemed to have blurred together. I have to go back and really look at time to see just have much things have changed and how much time has passed!
2012 kinda sucked--a lot, mainly for one reason, but I wont go there...So 2013 was something for me to really look forward to and I'm happy to say It was wonderful and awful all at the same time!
In 2013, I learned....
I learned how to truly compromise, how to make somebody happy while making myself happy at the same time.
I learned how much work a relationship truly can be and that I am happy to do the work for the people I love.
While I had already learned the importance of exercise in 2012, but couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting into better shape-in 2013 I learned that what you eat is even more important than how you treat your body in the gym.
I learned that my mother had cancer. Again.
I learned that I really really really hate cancer! Even though her surgery went well and all was removed, I also learned that my sister and I have a higher risk of getting colon cancer now as well. Which led me to eating clean!
I learned how to eat clean! I've learned that I love it!
I learned about AdvoCare and the wonderful products!!!
I learned that when you eat like crap, you will feel like crap! I also learned that I don't want to eat like crap or feel like crap anymore. I want to be healthier! I want the people I care about to also be healthier!After my moms cancer diagnosis, I also learned that I have an odd way of dealing with things-I like to hide away in my home, by myself.
Again, I learned the importance of eating clean.
I learned how awesome I am at being a social work student and how much I truly love my classes!!
I learned that I can do anything I put my mind to-even college!
I learned that I can set goals, work my butt off and do things on my own.
I learned that my spontaneous side is actually sometimes a good thing and causes me to take risks-good risks that help me attain my goals.
I learned that I might be very different from my mother and sister and that's okay.
I learned that I can't and don't care to please everybody.
I learned a new found joy in working with elderly.
I learned how to slow down, listen and advocate for my elderly clients. They need me.
I learned to step off the scale and trust my body. Go with how I feel, not what the number says!
I learned that the man I love, loves me-every part of me, even the things I don't love about me.
I learned that he had been putting a lot of planning into proposing to me for a long time and I said yes!
I learned that a lot can happen in one year!
The cancer sucks, the 4.0gpa rocked, my love for being a social worker is great, being engaged to the man of my dreams is even better, losing weight and being a healthier me is awesome!
2014 is only going to get better and I can't wait! Graduating college, our wedding and so much more! Ahhh!
