Hey ya'll!
We have made it through another year. Thank God. This has been quite the year. In case you are new here or haven't had the time to read previous posts; here is the cliff notes of this year.
- Popeye was moved to a new command. That was a nightmare. God bless him and all the other sailors at that command.
- I started working out with a personal trainer. That was so much fun and I was finally getting stronger and toned. That had to come to an end due to health issues.
- I ended up in the hospital on my death bed once again. I was there for quite a bit. Had to restart treatment at a higher dose and frequency.
- I was blessed with a visit from a best friend from my college days. Thank you again, Ink for coming to visit me. I hadn't seen her since 2009. Though we both were going through a hard time--it was just so amazing and healing in some ways to spend time together. Hopefully it won't be this long before I see her again. 14 years is way to long. She left me with homework, hahaha.. you can read it here.
- I quit my job. That was such a hard decision to make but it honestly was the right decision for me to make.
- God gave me a career pivot. I am still in the beginning stages of that so stay tuned for more details on that.
- I started group challenges on Stridekick. If you want to join let me know. Lets get our steps in.
- We added a new member to our pack. His name is Luigi. You can read more about him here.
- Popeye made a huge decision that changes his career path and I am so proud of him.
- Popeye and I went to his best friends wedding. It was so much fun and beautiful.
- I went to my little sister's wedding. It was so beautiful. She was stunningly gorgeous.
- I had major surgery--I might come back and explain that later. But for now, just know the recovery is very long, slow, and painful. At the time of this writing I am 7 weeks post-op. Home health Nursing comes out a few times a week to change my wound care.
- I reconnected with my sister. That has been such a blessing.
- I read a total of 27 books for the year. You can see the list of books I read here.
- I changed my name on my blog from Simply That to Simply Me. It fits better.
And with that the year comes to an end. I have had to deal with a lot and in some ways I am still dealing. I have grown in some areas and have learned some lessons. How was your year? Leave me a comment if you feel like sharing. I'd love to hear about it.
So as I end this year and start 2024 I just want to first thank you all for stopping by and reading my ramblings. I truly appreciate it. I know you all have gone through life issues as well and I just want you to know that I am proud of you for overcoming and getting through those tough times. I have no idea what 2024 brings but keep on taking one step at a time and keep hope alive. I wish you and your family a very special and blessed 2024. May it be filled with good health, love, peace, joy, and great adventures. Happy New Year, my darlings; see you in the new year!
Till next time,
Simply Me...
