A Reflection on January 2016/Appreciating Life
I think I am going to try to do an end of the month reflection
post every month (as long as I remember to haha) from now on with my page.
Still being at the beginning of a new year, I think this would be something
positive to finish up another month with so here goes nothing:
January 2016
Well, I started off this brand new year with a goal in my
head, and although the year is still new, I was hoping to have a bit of a
better start to it. I really only went down in my weight a tiny bit, not nearly
as much as I would have liked, however, my weight did not go up and that makes
me extremely happy. Over the last year or so my weight was, although slowly,
increasing steadily. The fact that I stopped this is enough (for now) for me. I
said at the beginning of the year that I was not going to put myself down over
a lack of progress. Am I a little frustrated? For sure! But I will not let it
deter me from making future progress.
That being I just wanted to take a few moments and type out
my thoughts. Today I learned some not so happy news from a colleague that has
made me think all day. I am not going to go into any details about it, however,
it has made me think so much about the present.
Not too long ago I posted about living one day at a time,
and I guess this post is really just a repeat of that in a way. That being
said: Never take anything for granted and truly appreciate each and every day and
thing and person you have because you truly never know when that can change.
Things can happen so fast and you may never know when, where, and even why. Enjoy
life each and every day. When you are upset with someone you love never leave
the house angry or go to bed angry. Never give up on someone or something.
Everything can change in a second so appreciate everything you can in the moment.
Dwelling on a lack of progress in January is going to get me
nowhere, so it will stay in the past. I am going to appreciate everything I
have and make today a better day. I want to enjoy life and make every day
golden. If everyone had this attitude the world would probably be a much better
place. Tomorrow is guaranteed for nobody, so appreciate life each second that
goes by and never get yourself down over things that cannot be changed because
they are in the past.
