Last Month of the Year

Well, 2025, you weren't too joyful, sadly. But we keep chugging along. I did get to spend some great time with the people in my life who matter - my girls group, my brother and nephews (and his wife!). . I have hopefully found a boarding barn that's not run on gossip, and good thing, my girl seems happy. Found the cat when she was lost. Made some people laugh. Powered through an extremely challenging work contract - and got made full-time!

Tried to separate the stress of work from home - this one is still in progress. I get that at the end of the day I am still a very lucky person in the world. But it's been a hard go this year, not just for me, but for many. I think so many of us are realizing that it's the small moments anymore that can give you peace. For me, that's hanging with my horse, going on a ride, or even just sharing space with her. And being at home - hanging with husband and cat - comfy in bed, knowing that I have that.

I think 2026 will be a year. That's it, just 365 days. Not the best year, not the worst year, but up to me to make it something. To set boundaries at work and not give too much of myself, especially when I don't receive the same energy back. To ride my horse and enjoy everything about her. To meet up with friends and family and do some fun things. To eat better. And realize that it's just the little things these days that you can hang your hat on.
