Here we are at the end of the first month of a new year. Most of us entered the new year with great plans and expectations, and at the end of the first month, we can already tell a bit if those plans and expectations are realistic. I personally set goals to take better care of myself, make significant strides in my business, and to improve my relationships with others.
My self-portrait this month is a great picture of where I am at and how I feel about my first month of a new year. In the last month, I have been doing my best to keep up with the goals I have set for myself. However, so many things have kept me busier than I ever expected. This portrait is a representation of me doing my best to enjoy moments of rest when they come. I much prefer everything to be exactly as I want it. However, even in this picture, things are not quite as perfect as I would like them to be. I am learning to accept imperfections and grow from them. Also, for the next month, we are house-sitting for friends in New Port Richey, where this picture was taken. Although I will be splitting my time between Tampa and New Port Richey, this opportunity will give Justin and I time to rest and think outside of our usual surroundings.
So much uncertainty lies ahead, but in a season such as this, the opportunity to learn and grow is ever-present.
