What. A. Year. Am I right?
Looking back on 2018, a few words come to mind: exhaustion, setbacks, gratitude and perspective.
The last 12 months didn’t come without its share of challenges. I lost my job, broke up with my boyfriend, and moved in with my parents. My headaches, migraines,
fatigue and visual snow were debilitating and I spent more days in bed than not.
Conclusion: It was a tough year. BUT, I am tougher (is tougher a word? Or is it like funner? And I should be saying more tough? In case you were wondering, I didn’t learn how to spell in 2018).
Despite the above setbacks, actually I think it’s because of them, I am happier now than I have ever been. I have learned to stop, to feel, and to appreciate the beauty in my day to day life. Before my injury, I was never really present and was so focused on the one or two things I didn’t have. Now, I am just so grateful for every little thing (this includes you!). Thank you for all of your love, encouragement and support and for following me on this journey — I am here because of you.
As we move into a new year, I am full of hope and excitement. Hope that I will find a medication that will take away some of my pain and excitement for where this journey will take me.
I can’t wait!
Let’s take the lessons and blessings of 2018 with us and make 2019 a year to remember. How does that sound? Who’s with me?
Happy New Year to you and yours!
With lots of love always,
