Happy Renew Year. Cheesy, yes. Accurate, yes. I've decided to name 2015 the year of renewal for a variety of reasons. As indicated by my lack of blog posts, I continue to struggle making time to write. Each day I think of the things I want to say and to put down into writing, but I allow hurdles, many self-induced, keep me from just doing it.
The New Year is bittersweet as I love the holiday season. From October to December are my happiest months with the anticipation and excitement of each holiday from Halloween to Christmas. While I'm sad to see the festivities end, there is something to be said for a clean slate. A blank sheet of paper.
That's how I view 2015. The story of the year has yet to be written. I need to remember that each day. It's easy, especially for me, to get entrenched in old (read: bad) habits, patterns, and thoughts. Mothering three small children is physically and emotionally draining at times. And I often get caught up thinking I'm the only one feeling overwhelmed or unsure. I need to remember that feeling overwhelmed is not synonymous with being a failure or not good enough as a Mother.
In lieu of New Year's resolutions that I'll inevitably break, I'm simply going to name this the year of renewal. A year to start doing things again I used to do before becoming a Mom of multiples. A year to gain further confidence in this mothering gig. A year to renew confidence in myself as a woman. I hope you'll join me in the journey.
