A Beginning, a Middle and an End

It is the start of a new year and of course with a New Year, comes resolutions and good intentions of starting things that may eventually be dropped until the new year. However, I would like to think of this year, not as having resolutions, but of starting back up old habits and continuing on my journey of becoming a better me. I would like to think of 2016 will be the year that I start to focus more on myself and the things I want to do and accomplish instead of focusing on others more than me. (By others I mean Netflix.) But anyways, I thought I would start a blog chronicling my journey and all the observations I make and the things that I happen to learn along the way. My hopes are that when I look back upon my post, I will see growth and progress and hopefully some new insight to life that is beneficial to myself, but that may help the random person who has fortunately for them, stumbled upon my place of recording my thoughts and observations of this beautiful, messy world. Thus, this is my beginning.

 I find myself in the middle of a lot of things. Arguments between friends and family; the middle of the current book I am reading, the middle(ish) of grad school; my resolution of working out more (started before the New Year just so it would not be classified as a New Year's resolution) and so on and so forth. (This list could continue until the end of time, however, I do not want to bore you with lists.) Hopefully I do not find myself in the middle of this project and starting to slack on entries and then continuing into not posting at all. But, I make a point about middles, because at every point in time where there is a beginning and an end, we must not forget about the things that are in the middle, because they can be just as important.

Finally, I am at an end, and the most noteworthy end I will talk about is, you guessed it, the end of another year. 2015 was a great year. I graduated college and decided I would go back to school. (Mostly for the graduate assistantship though.) I received a job offer that I am very thankful for everything I have learned and gained from in just one semesters time. I also was fortunate enough to be able to travel to some new places and some ones I had been to before that I had not been to in a while. (The most noticeable was Helena Montana which is absolutely beautiful and stunning. I also found a really cool pair of earrings!) Mostly, what I have taken from 2015 is that I can do anything I set my mind to with hard work and dedication, as well as there are many opportunities this world has to offer and I must be open and willing to then to take them. As 2016 moves on, I will keep these things in mind and see where my journey takes me.

Until the next time,
