yikes... 2 posts for 2016. how my blogging skills have gone down hill fast.
as much as i'd like to say i'll blog more this year, realistically, i'm not sure if that's going to happen. setting my goals low haha.
2016 was a really good year. it was the first year in a long time where i felt like i could take a minute to actually breathe. i don't want to say i'm unlucky, but i definitely feel like i got hit with hardship after hardship for a solid few years. and just as i would start to heal and recover, bam, i got hit with another hardship. 2016 still had it's tough times, but i could manage it. i'm so grateful for that year. kenneth and i call it a good healing year. i hope 2017 is just as great if not better!
