"Cannonball"~Lea Michele

The end of 2013 ends and a new year begins.  One last post of 2013.  
I chose this song because I heard her sing it for the first time on Ellen and thought that this is how I have felt all year.  It is kinda my anthem for the year.  It is how I have fought and pushed my way through this year to accomplish so much.
I started this year out still feeling down about my MdDS, but I pushed myself as much as I could.  I started off the year on such a low note after last year's holidays.  I was worried that my goals I set for myself were too high.  But if anything I have learned in this last year, I'm stronger than I ever thought I was able to be. 
I accomplished so much, and I'm so proud of myself for doing so.  I was able to travel more.  I was able to see the last of my dearest friends commit her love for her husband in March.  I was able to get to my grandparents' house in South Carolina and got to also see my dad while I was there.  I made it to Nags Head this year and even ended up walking into the ocean for a little bit.  I started driving again after not being able to drive for a year.  I started working, part-time, but I'm working.  I'm working more with computers and pacing myself with projects at work and home.  I went to a few concerts, a broadway show of "American Idiot."  I also tried to ride a roller coaster (not doing that for awhile) and also went to a water park for the girl scouts. 
I took over my girl scout troop this year as leader.  I now have 16 girls under my guidance with the help of a wonderful co-leader.  In doing this, I have been able to plan small trips with them including going to a pumpkin patch, fire station and camping (my first time ever).  
I still have had some rough days, but they come farther apart than what they used to do.  Like my husband says, this time last year I was begging for good days, now I have way more good days than bad.  I've worked on how I cope with the stress of it all.  I've learned that I'm not superwoman and I can only work on one day at a time.  
So here comes 2014.  My number one goal for this year is to keep moving forward.  Keep trying new ways to overcome my obstacles that I have and keep going.  Josh and I are coming up on our 10 year anniversary.  It will be 10 years since I joined my sorority.  It will be 9 years since I had my son, 6 since I had my daughter.  6 years since we bought our home.  
I say good bye to one more year and hello to a new one.
"I've got this new beginning and I'll fly, I'll fly, I'll fly, like a cannonball"
Happy New Year to all!~Sara
