It’s that time again… Where woman say they are going to loose 10lbs, men say they are going to settle down and children just hope to stay up late so they can brag to all their friends when break is over.

But what about the real world? What’s something you would actually like to see happen for 2016?

I’m thinking I wouldn’t change a thing. I have everything I could ask for, well except one but I can wait for him. I just feel that 2015 was such a cluster of emotion and situations, I’m just happy to be alive and well. I don’t know what else I could possibly hope for. My mother is a rock star, dad is happier than I think he’s ever been and we had the best Christmas as a family that we’ve ever had.
The secrets I guess are what make us wonderful. My sister isn’t exactly true unless it benefits her alone. My brother is a walking disaster and as far as my parents go, well that’s just a cluster. But together, when it’s all of us and our secrets, our mistakes… we make a wonderful family.

A year ago I would have told you I met the love of my life and together we are going to rule the world… turns out true colors are darker than they seem. I also would have told you that bringing a child into this world would be my greatest joy… I would have been crying behind this smile.

I made my choices to help my future, although there were some casualties, look at me know. I’ve grown as a woman, I’ve found my place and I’m going to keep embarking on this journey. What are my goals though? What do I seek out of this year? Where am I destined to go?

I don’t know and frankly, I don’t care. Everyday is something different and everyone handles these days differently. Every morning, we have this choice. We can wake up and smile and feel good about what we’ve been blessed with or we can stay in bed, hit snooze one more time and dread the fact that you have to wake up and deal with the bed you have made… or unmade.

2016 is going to be great. There’s change in the air, it’s like a fresh cool breeze blowing through and waking all the demons we’ve tried to hide and forcing us to deal with them accordingly. Better clean out the closet or teach your skeletons how to dance because 2016 feels like it’s going to blow the doors wide open.

Here’s to a new year… Cheers.
