Today I am overjoyed. As 2016 comes to a close, I have been reflecting on the layers of unconditional love I have been cloaked in- all year long. It has been a year of many battles on a physical, mental and spiritual level. From all that comes with welcoming a new baby into the world and being diagnosed with a diet related disease all while being a home educator, wife and a financially miseducated millennial; I should be worn thinner than mummy bandages. However, I'm good.
It has been a peaceful year. I made the choice to do a lot of falling back, which is in part, quite natural to me but in other respects, extremely difficult and uncharacteristic. I am a proactive, take charge kind of woman who is also a laid-back hippy (without the assistance of drugs). If there is a word for that, I'm not sure what it is but that's me. I tapped into that hippy side a lot more this year, in that, I just let go.
As much as I was frustrated and at times felt like I MUST do something, I could not physically bring myself to move. Instead, in the midst of all of the noise, I had to listen to that quiet voice within that said, "Chill." And so I did. The results, have transformed, even elevated my way of thinking and my spirit.
There has been one question in my mind, what have you learned from this? I have learned that my world will not explode if I watch rather than do. I've learned that sometimes, I just need more information and that things happen so that I can get that information. I've learned that although I am imperfect, there is a divine perfection at work within me at all times. Those lessons have brought me to a place of gladness today.
