Really, most of 2015 wasn't easy. My world unraveled a bit when my husband was injured in May, and even after the crisis was over, I don't think I ever quite got myself back together. So I have ended the year, reeling from a return of my depression and just trying to keep my head above water and all the balls in the air.So. Many. Balls.
So... 2016 sort of started without me, almost.
I haven't really taken time to reflect on last year.
I didn't pick a Word.
I haven't thought about all the areas of my life and analyzed the crap out of them, like I normally do.
I have no resolutions.
Instead, I have this message for myself.
"Be kinder."
That's all.
To myself...
To the people around me...
To the people I love...
To the people I can't stand...
To the people who make me want to stick a fork in my eye.
Or theirs.
And twice to myself.
For, I promise, no one expects more from me than I do, and I disappoint no one as much as I disappoint myself.
So, this year, all I ask of myself is this...
Be kinder.
In every meaning of that word... just be kinder.
