Journaling reads: (which I had to painfully copy by hand here as the copy & paste of this dinosaur of a computer wont let me do!!! LOL)
I know some of the things that define me, even though I have seen myself changing through years of constant change in so many ways, there are still things that remain unchanged. I know, for example, my number is Five, and I have discovered over years of scrapping that my letter is the one that links me not only to my very own number, but the main & most important meaning of life itself in my heart: Family - Friends - Faith - Food. Maybe not always in that precise order, but always present in big ways through the whole of my life. In these words I find my soul. Family always being my solace, my support and my happiness, my one constant support no matter what. Faith always present in a big way, even in the moments in which I most strongly denied it, and in the past few years coming in to strengthen in my heart through my Father and and some dear Friends. And Friends have come and gone, but a very few remained in the most solid way, for some, 40 years becoming beyond the meaning of Friendship, becoming Family with an un-descrivable intensity. Food? I could fill pages about how I had so much, sometimes too little, learning the value of the presence, the delight in making it into an art, the simple warmth of just sharing the process and so delighting in the sharing of eating it. Yes. This is most definitely a huge latter in the English Language for me, as I can find myself in these words and so many others that come from it.These past few years, it became a word I would much rather never to get acquainted with, but unfortunately has been present in such powerful way. It has almost become a definition of time. If I had to describe my 2016, I would say, most definitely, the word is, without a doubt: Frustration. So many variants of this one: Financial, emotional, physical,. But I have learned, as one does in everyday life, the only way is moving Forward. No Point in looking back, unless it is to think, learn and Focus in what comes next. So in this new year, I will, once again, Focus into the F Words, and Find my path to move Forward.
