Good Bye 2025 with sweet memories
As I bid Good-bye to 2025, memories are flooding my mind like a gentle wave of this year gone by. At the start of the year, I wrote that I wasn't planning much, and life would unfold as it wanted. And that's exactly how it went. I had no grand resolutions, no strict goals, I just wanted to go with the flow and see what life has in store for me. Honestly, it's been so much better this way. It was less stressful, because once you set a goal then you are constantly chasing it. If you try to control life too much it slips away more and more from your hand.
This year I needed break and wanted to surrender. I wanted to free myself from the constant chase to achieve, do and accomplish never ending cycle. For many years, I have been on this role, setting one after another big goals and constantly chasing them. While I wanted to go slow, but to be realistic, life has its own plans. There were couple of things that did surface up. My sciatica pain barged in again after 7 long years, slowing me down for months. This was my fault; I have been advised not to do heavy weights. I thought it's been so many years now and I am doing good, so I should start doing heavy weights. That made the pain surface again. It did scare me a lot, because last time it happened, I was in a miserable state. So this time when it surfaced, I took a complete break from everything and went into a ultra slow mode, giving myself time to heal, which did happen. Later part of the year just as things eased, hubby's health threw some curveballs. With God's grace it's all well now.
Despite the ups and downs, there were some very good moments as well in the year. A surprise Turkey family holiday happened early in the year, which was a blast with my loved ones. I also celebrated my 30 years of togetherness. Hubby surprised me with a grand anniversary celebration with a 2 weeks’ notice 🤣
The cryptos this year has been hammering me and teaching me patience and also stress management 😂. Pheww, I don't know when this is going to change.
With all the highs and lows, I have a lot of gratitude for all those people who have been helpful to me during the year and for all those moments that gave me happiness and for all those lessons that's helping me be a better person by the day.
The highlight of this year were the unplanned moments that stole the show 😊. The year’s ending on a sweet note, with lessons learned and love reaffirmed 💕. Tonight I am going to spend the New Year eve with my friends, we are having a party and bringing in the New Year with lots of positive vibes.
