Again once I was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed freshman in faculty, I walked into my first lecture corridor the place I used to be seated with 499 different college students able to take a course on Greek Fable. There have been so many desirable characters that we examine that yr (of notice particularly: Dionysus) however one which stands out specifically is Janus, the god of beginnings. Portrayed at all times with two faces, he seems behind whereas additionally dealing with the long run, and his title is the place the phrase January comes from.
I like to consider him this time of yr, as I replicate again and transfer ahead. Final yr, now far behind within the rearview, was a yr of boundary setting, introducing Mila to a extra everlasting daycare answer, and determining easy methods to roll with the punches. Life stored taking place round us–Bryan was let go from his job, we picked up plenty of debt, and the truth that journey was a really distant dream sucker punched me within the intestine.
This yr, compared, is wanting much more hopeful. Bryan simply began a brand new job, slowly and absolutely I’ve been chipping away at that mounting bank card debt, and I’ve a brand new and really thrilling work mission that has actually breathed life into my everyday.
Final yr, I attempted my greatest to set boundaries in my life, one thing I’ve struggled with for ages. Has it improved? Not totally and nonetheless a piece in progress. As with parenting, generally in life we simply have to concentrate on placing one foot in entrance of the opposite. Forgiveness. Which may must be my phrase of the yr.
Anyway, how is your January wanting to date, buddies? Any objectives for the month and yr forward? Let me know within the feedback!
