The Chronicles Of Nay

Hello friends and readers! I am so sorry I have been MIA for a while. School started back up and it has been kicking my butt. I was so glad for this little break here. My new normal is during the week I spend so much time creating lessons and then recording them. Creating and assigning lessons then grading them. Then more time hunting down the kids that are like ghost children. Making phone calls only to be yelled at because parents don’t see me as an ally but rather someone that is judging them. It has been a rough few months that is for sure! If it is any indication in the past three months I have dyed my hair 3 times! Haha but joking aside I know that 2020 has been rough. 

Although there were many losses in 2020 I know it wasn’t all bad! I asked some of my friends to tell me something good that happened to them in 2020. There were babies born, engagements and marriages, debts paid, pets adopted, new homes purchased, promotions, new jobs started, self growth, relationships got stronger, and there was time spent with family that wouldn’t have been possible if everyone was working “like normal”. I know that it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies but it wasn’t all bad either. I needed the reminder too. 

With the end of the week is starting the new year I started reftlcting on why I struggled so much in 2020. I relized that I am much more of a control freak than I am willing to admit and the big theme of the year was me having no control over what was going on! So as I look forward to the new year I started thinking what my goal for the coming year could be.  What is the 1 word that I am going to take in to 2021? I decided that this year my goal is to “let go and let God.” the 1 word I am taking forward is Faith. Faith that things will work out, faith that God is in control, faith that when I have a bad day there is a good day coming; faith! I am excited for 2021. This new year is a new opportunity for self growth and to strengthen my faith and walk with God. 

I have some small goals for the year as well. One of those is to be more in the moment. So when I am hanging out with someone turning my phone off and spending time with that person. I think that we take that time with people for granted. I know I am guilty of scrolling through my phone while I am with other people. Sorry, I am going to do better about that this year! Another thing I am going to try this year is this dang picture a day challange. I have started it probably 5 different times and I never get past like March! This is the year! I need to get an app or something. I haven’t found one I like. Does anyone know an android app that does it? I have tried a couple over the years but I just haven’t found one that does what I need it to. 

So your turn, tell me, what are some goals you are taking in to the new year? Big goals or small goal I want to hear them all! What is your word for 2021?
