Golden

golden birthday. noun. a person's birthday when they turn the age of their birth date.

28 on the 28th. A December Baby.  That's me. 

Yesterday was a spectacular day filled with smiles, Golden birthday wishes, Italian food, chocolate cake and presents. I am extraordinarily grateful for all of the love and well wishes. 

My birthday comes practically on the eve of a new year and so, lucky for me, I can make resolutions each year that correspond not only to the new year but to my new age as well. 

A lot of life happened in 2015, while I was 27...some of it good and a lot was pretty shitty. My entire life changed. Everything I knew changed. The way I was living my life changed. My attitude changed. So so many things changed. And change is scary! I won't get into all the ins and outs, but lets just say 2015 was the year of MAJOR life changes for me. 

So now, headed into to 2016, being 28, I have a fresh start. new beginnings. a new outlook on life. 

I've always been a positive and upbeat person. I've always looked on the bright side (or at least tried to- it can be hard when you're going through a tough time). But that isn't changing. I am still all about positivity. I think that in 2016 it will be much easier to be positive since I'm back to my 'old self'. 

Lately I've been laughing so genuinely and there are these moments that catch my focus and I think "wow, I am happy!" I love that. 

I've gotten used to life as a single mom. It was a hard adjustment but now I can go into 2016 confidently knowing that I CAN do it.  

I have a really awesome job, and 2016 will bring more experience and professional growth. 

My son is attending a fabulous preschool where I know he will thrive and learn many new things in the coming year. 

I've lost 75 pounds since March 2014 and I know that in 2016 I will continue to live my best life.

I have an amazing new relationship that is flourishing. It's quite spectacular to have someone who makes me genuinely happy. 

In 2016: I want to let go of my past hurt. my past pain emotionally. release the feeling of being broken. 

I want to be present in each moment. really truly focus on enjoying things. 

I want to be who I am, un-apologetically. 

I want to be...really truly wholeheartedly HAPPY again.

hap·py, adjective:

feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.


fortunate and convenient.
