2017

A year of lost and found... 

This year, I successfully (or unwillingly but with a vengeance):

Lost my patience for stupidity and found an endocrinologist. 

Lost a key member of the Village of Women who raised me but found a new home. 

Lost some fear of the future and found a new step on my career ladder.

Lost a little money, but found a day to celebrate for no particularly important reason.

Lost some past regrets and found a new car.

Lost a few friends and found a few unexpected silver linings. .

Lost trust in the words of some people and found a heart problem.  

Lost touch with my priorities but found a way to live life to the fullest.

Lost my delivery path and found my passion for food again. 

Lost my daughter but found an amazing support system. 

Lost part of my routine and found my hibernating passion for writing. 

Lost my cool and found success in my new hobbies. 

In 2017, 

I lost 69 lbs and found a new way to see myself as important. 

I lost faith in myself but found my true worth. 

I lost my mind but found my spirit. 

I lost touch with people, broke things, and fumbled along the way. 

I found purpose, gained wisdom, and followed through on a New Years resolution for the first time in my life. 

I am not sad that 2017 is over, and I am excited for the adventures that 2018 will undoubtedly bring!

I have a good job, a great family, wonderful friends, an amazing partner, and an overwhelming amount of love and support. 

More later!
