This has been a year full of life and all kinds of various
experiences, a year very well spent. I feel a lot more grounded and secure, I
am very grateful for every experience I have had this year and I really feel
like I have come a long way. Family has been a core focus for me this year and
I am pleased with the attention I have given my family I have had moments with
them all individually and learnt a lot including the ever so essential ability
to put smiles on their faces and the fulfillment that comes along with it. I am
really glad that this year I didn't shun
family as always, I made time to spend with a few of my relatives and it was
great.
On a work front I had such an amazing year of growth but
with growth comes the elevation of standards and even though I had an amazing
year with unimaginable growth it was not enough, I had to deal with the stabbing
pain of disappointment. I ignited a new hunger in me that was amazing and knew
no failure until I failed, I think I experienced being flung into a brick wall
theoretically, I hadn't acknowledged failure in a long while and it was a
shocker, but I guess once you have failed the hard part is done now I can win
happily knowing I have failed before. I
managed to dust myself up and get back on the horse but it was long dragging
process I really felt awful. None the less I live to die another day!
On a personal note well I never cease to live a drama free
existence, highs and lows as always bad experiences I am not proud of occurred
and well great revelations too. The important lessons are when people show
their true colors believe them and accept them as they are; at least they have
been honest. I have become a lot less tolerant and I fear many may lose my
devotion in the year ahead and it is only for my own good which is my core
responsibility. I really sense a growth about me and I intend to continue with
it. On a spiritual level there has been growth too, I attended a lot more
church this year and got involved in ministry a bit and I intend to give more
of my time into service. As always God has shown himself faithful in my life
and taught me patience and how to surrender my life to him, a little nudge that
I am in his world and not in control. My health has been amazing this year and
for once I committed to fitness and stuck to it too, I play soccer once a week
and it has kept my weight in check all year, I also participated in my first
triathlon this year a great experience I intend to do more often. I also took a
zumba class too this year that was awesome too, I had a very active year this
year. I have dubbed 2015 a year of building; it is very general but appropriate
I am building and I am excited and hungry for it.
I won’t be a new person next year probably a better version
of Donna and with everyday that comes I fit more and more comfortably in my own
skin. I am who I am not perfect not amazing, I am very different and I love
that about myself no one can ever fault me for not being unique. I love my life
and I am ever so grateful for everything that has come in this life, I
constantly look forward to what lies ahead. I am most grateful for the grace of
God upon my life as it has kept me from so much and shown me so much, more often
than not I feel like the luckiest girl alive and that is what is important.
Have a blessed 2015 filled with breath taking moments and give breath taking
experiences don’t just be alive, LIVE!!!
