Reflections on 2013

The year is coming to a close.  I am so glad.  This has been without a doubt one of the hardest years of my life.  I know given my history of PPD that I very openly shared almost 4 years ago, (PPD) that most of my handful of readers will think that is what is going on.

Its not.

Having Noah has been the highlight of the year.  Taking care of him has given me something to hold on to.  He really is a joy, a sweet, active, curious baby.

The struggles I have been living through are so deeply personal and painful I will not share them.  I just want to say if you've seen me and I have seemed distracted, or angry, and or sad, don't take it personally.  I have not been right.  I withdrew from everything for months.  More than likely most people didn't see me at all.  I hid.  I didn't read a single book for 4 months.  If you know me well, you know that is long.  I usually read about a book a week.

I am finding a strength and courage I didn't know I had.  I will be ok.  This isn't some crazy I need help I am losing my mind post.  I am fine.

Here's to 2014.  My single goal is to find myself again and be happy.  It won't take much for it to be a better year.

I wish everyone else a very Happy New Year, and all the best in 2014!

Hey Kori! I wish we lived closer by! Here's to 2014! New year, new beginnings! If you ever wanna take up my crazy hobby of running we could do a race together. I am getting back in gear again. Gonna start with a 5k. :). I'm sure there will be plenty of races that we could do!
