Happy to report everything has been going really well!

I feel like I kinda mentally checked out over the last year, and I guess I just needed to shut down a little and take a bit of a self assessment. Over the last few years of turmoil and family problems, I really didn't pay too much attention to the general direction of my life. Everything was going well, but I didn't really feel like I was at the helm. I felt more like I was a passenger on a terrible ride with trouble around every corner. But now that it's just me, and everything is behind me that was action on my feelings from the outside.

I have some work to do, and I have a new sense of discontent (positive discontent) and a desire to just step up my game across the board. I don't want any more years to tick away without giving everything my full attention and effort. So that's kinda where I'm at right now. My counseling has been going awesome over the last couple months, and I'm glad that I actually took that step. Looking in the mirror and seeing so much potential, but being too afraid to act is a bad place to be. That's what has been the biggest realization I think, that not every decision is going to result in a bad outcome. Changing my attitude has been the biggest challenge, but has also shown the most reward, and quickly.

I'm working back things into my days that I had left on hold for a while, and it's been a lot of fun!

So anyway, I'm excited to see what comes this year and forward-
