We all know that 2020 was a complete disaster for most people && For some reason everyone was all excited that the 2021 New Year would bring good tidings && Covid 19 would somehow vanish from the face of the Earth && Seize to exist as we knew it. That was really hopeful for us, Proud of us for being optimistic after the year we had.
BUT, I am still optimistic for this year!, I know what you're thinking " The title doesn't really suggest that Chelsea" You're right it doesn't, Here's what I have already endured the first week of 2021.
Before the year started I helped my mom bring the dogs to the vet the day before my "Kid free" Trip to placid. It was supposed to be a routine visit but it very much ended differently then either my mother or I had expected. We brought in two of her gorgeous Saints, Briggs has been one of my buddies for a long time, I had held him immediately && knew he was the one coming home with us when we got him 8 years ago, && Sweet Enzo just needed some shots while Briggs had a tooth infection (So we thought). Briggs ended up having a very aggressive form of Cancer in his mouth, We took him home && made him comfortable. Everything went on my mom took the kiddos so My husband && I could spend our first "Adult" New year together on a vacation having fun.
We rang in the New year in our hotel my husband stayed awake, While I was asleep by 10. We enjoyed the next day playing billiards, Eating out, Getting things for my collection, bowling, && Looking at real-estate in the area. My mother called to say she couldn't deal with the kids anymore because she needed to spend her time on Briggs, Right then I knew we needed to come home but my husband was upset because we also needed this time together. I made the decision to reach out to friends && make arrangements for the kids. I had salvaged our vacation, up until I didn't. My mother told me Briggs would have to be put down on Saturday, It didn't sit well with me trying to have a good time while my childhood dog wasn't && the fact that I had already missed saying goodbye to one dog, I certainly would not miss it this time. We went home, My husband drove through an awful snow storm it took about four hours. That morning I woke up ran to my mom's house && held my dog. I got home before my husband had woke. When he did he just held me for hours.
So a review of this year continues:
We left vacation because it wasn't working out.
We had to put down my childhood dog.
I got a 3.83 GPA for the fall semester.
It only got my weighted GPA to a 2.07.
Found out I need another placement test, Which I suck at.
I reconnected with my love of books by a 12 books in 12 months challenge.
(Already got 3 books read)
I'm learning how to crochet.
I realized my son will start school this year.
So when I wrote this title is wasn't implying that I had given up on the year, Just that I have to balance back out, Switch my shoes to the right feet, Tie the laces tight, && Keep walking.
If you're like the older version of me && something didn't go your way already, Don't throw your year into a negative path. Talk about it write it down. Don't make expectations for yourself or "New years resolutions" Don't put pressure on them. Keep your head high you're already a better version of you for not letting set back get in your way.
