I start the new year, unemployed. Yay me... Not how I intended but things happen and now I must move forward. Not such a happy ending to last year, but what can I do? It's done.
Amazing how something like getting fired can knock you on your ass like nothing else could. My kids would've told me they were gay and I wouldn't have been as blown away as I was when I got my walking papers. I didn't make a fuss bc I was in shock for a week. I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Now, I've been on the hunt for a new job doing something new. And it's sucking at a high rate of speed.
A new year marks new beginnings and all that bull$#!t so I will make a new beginning. I won't make a resolution so I can only loathe myself later that I didn't make it passed March in keeping it. I will just keep telling myself I have plenty to be thankful for and keep trying to find my happy place.
A new year also allows you to start over and get something right you screwed up the year before. Being a parent it's also a time to remind yourself that your kids grow older and are moving further away from you as well. So enjoy every moment and don't sweat the small stuff.
This new year can only bring new things and a chance to get something right. We can only know how it went when we reflect at the end of this year.
So until then, make each moment count and try to look for small victories to make it through. We are all doing the same thing. And that, is the Best we can do.
