That reflective time of year
Just a short entry to wish everyone a wonderful and relaxing holiday!
Though there's a lot to do during the holidays, I do like to take the time to reflect on where I've been, where I'm going and where I'd like to be. I usually take this time to write out exactly what I want my life to look like: financially, emotionally, intellectually, socially, spiritually, etc. Any part of my experience is open for consideration and for inclusion in this writing. I'm looking forward to doing that over the next week!
I also wanted to share something I discovered about myself this morning. Despite the tough year that it's been in the economy, despite all the "bad" things that happen, even when I've been sick or depressed or unhappy or injured in the past, what I realized this morning is that my core state - what is deep inside me - is happiness. This is my true core - the state that I've faithfully returned to despite my best efforts 
For me, this realization feels like a significant shift in perspective going forward - and a wonderful way to start the new year.
I wanted to share this with you during this holiday season, because all of you who read this, and merely the fact of my writing this, are important parts of my realizing that my core state is, indeed, happiness.
So - thank you.
It really has been an amazing year in a lot of ways - even if you only consider the historic US elections. It's such an exciting time to be where we are. I look forward to continuing the journey with you all!
All the best to you all in the new year!
