Happy New Year

Yet another year has passed, and time seems to be marching on so quickly. I'm at this weird stage in my life where I was still a kid just a few short years ago, and suddenly I have a family of my own. So, so many things have changed for me just in the past year, let alone the whole decade! It's astounding the differences in my life now and the person I have become.
The important thing? I am proud of the person I have become. In just three years, I feel as though I am a totally different person. From rebellious teen to wife and mother...that's a pretty big change!
In the last year, we have moved, celebrated many firsts, found out we were on baby number two, had some pregnancy complications, bought and sold horses, been through sicknesses, grown in our marriage, and so many other things.
That's a lot to happen in one year, and I almost felt as though it was mundane compared to the two previous ones! I know everyone makes fun of the "new year, new me" posts, but think about it. Are you even the same exact person you were a year ago? I'm certainly not. Sure, there's some habits I wish I had kicked but overall, my year changed me. I learned lessons, some hard and some wonderful. I've become more grateful and learned to see the world through a lens of "look at everything we've been blessed with!" I've learned how important it is to look at someone else's side of the story. I'm not as hard hearted as I used to be.
So yes, it is a new me going in to 2020. What about you? Did you let 2019 change you for the better or worse? Did you let your trials make you callous or let them soften your heart? When you think about your goals for 2020, or for the next 10 years, know that those years will change you. It's up to you to decide if that will be a good or a bad change!
