16 weeks
There's 16 weeks left in 2016. I am just throwing it out there. For some, this might be motivation to use the 16 weeks wisely. Maybe loose weight (16 pounds?).
Maybe to contemplate how far we've come already.
But putting time aside, I can say that 2016 has been a year of challenge so far. I am disappointed that I have not been able to maintain a ritual in blogging. I think many times I debate using that time to write or to act. Being proactive has been the mantra this year.
Dealing with life situations, taking problems on head on, as they say, taking the bull be the horns. As a family, we haven't had much of a choice.
We all seem to be evolving in our lives. Our skins are definitely thicker.
We are more resilient, I would even go as far as to say ferocious.
Dealing with health issues, some new and some on-going. Dealing with emotional issues as well.
Being dealt with tough decisions, tough circumstances, tough hand of cards.
And even when the lemonade is disgusting (from the rotten lemons you have), you still push on.
Family pulls together, even the very little family we have. Some disappear indefinitely, physically as well as psychologically. What remains are photo albums that tell a whole other story.
The mind resists change, from one generation to the next, it seems like fact gets all muddled and we are dealing with legends.
Who is to argue, who is to care? Where do we go, when we do not know where we come from?
I look at my son, I look to myself for the quest of identity?
With my mother's mind slowly slipping away, for all to wonder, where is she today?
With only 16 weeks left, I wonder how 2016 has become a year of survival, of utter survival?
Each obstacle comes along, with a new game plan, a new strategy. We are now well equipped it appears. How did that happen?
Our family is one tough fighting machine. Kudos to my son, high five to my hubby, the modern day star troopers, always on guard.
It's been crazy, but we are winning the war of hardship! We are mastering this class with an A+!
I am happy to say that 2016 has allowed us to grow and evolve into a new skin. A better version of our usual jolly selves!
