Reflections of the Year (2019)/Decade: I will continue to wear sunglasses and carry an umbrella I'm both sad and grateful to see the end of this year. As I reflected on what I lost, I also remembered to cherish what I gained during this decade. This year I said farewell to my mom (June). But in the three years prior I was able to say hello to her and get to know her in a special way. So I was by her side, holding her hand as she went. This year I said farewell to my Grandmother (December). But I remember in this past decade I was able to keep my promise, once made, to see her in person at least once a year - usually in July for her birthday. This year I almost lost the love of my life twice (May & July). And he's still here because he improved his health in the past 10 years. God is a healer and a restorer of health. Thank God for great doctors - even if they can't discern the root cause, they provided viable plans for improved health - and praying family and friends. And in the midst of these challenges just this year, God has blessed me to forge new and deeper relationships - social media has been a precious, precious gift this year … and to learn and grow through the ones that have changed. Each day remains an opportunity to choose how you see the world and all that happens. I am free to feel how I feel when I feel it. Without cloudy skies and rain, there's a limited appreciation of the clear sky and sunshine. And sometimes, it rains while the sun shines; so, you can wear sunglasses and carry an umbrella. #2019 #2020 #happynewyear #reflection #justbu #nowjustbu #extremencourager #anggiecoach #recognizedyouraccomplishments #reshapeyourattitiude #realizeyoureamazing (at Upper Marlboro, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wwgHthGTW/?igshid=nee5n5hnem1g
