Well, friends, we made it! It’s the end of 2024!
How are we feeling? Happy? Sad? Are we ready for new beginnings? Are we glad it’s over, or are we just going through the motions, dreading that everyday monotonousness?
I want to be your veteran sister who shares some of her life experiences with you in hopes of you realizing that giving up is not an option and that you should focus on the good because good things are on the way.
During my time in the service, I was always angry. There was nothing that brought me joy. It seemed like the world around me was jacked up, and everyone around me who was happy just upset me even more.
It irritated me profusely to see others doing good. If a situation didn’t go how I wanted it to, I was ready to flip tables. When I separated, all my emotions intensified, and life became harder. I struggled mentally, physically, and emotionally, eventually leading to current day health issues.
However, it wasn’t until my grandfather passed away and my dog crossed the rainbow bridge that I began seeing that things aren’t really as bad as they seem.
During my healing journey, I realized that the day really is how we make it. We can have good days and bad days. It’s all up to us. We have many opportunities to share positivity in the world, we just have to be open to receive them.
Therefore, friends, if you are looking for a sign, then this is it. If you have a dream in your heart, it’s time to take action, sis.
In 2025, I hope that you find passion in your everyday life. I hope you take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.
Take it from your sister from another mister who strongly believes that if you put good out in the world, then good will come back to you. Let’s embrace an abundant and prosperous New Year ahead.
