Festive time of the year.

Approaching the end of the year, 2022. 
I am feeling festive this year, whereas for the last three years... I wasn't able to bring myself to feel celebratory and truthfully I just didn't have the emotional and mental capacity. Much has changed since, much therapy and support has become more effective as I moved forward through the years. Now, this year was a bit different, because I was able to jump/leap over hurdles that kept tripping me up. And, 2020 was the starting point from there to here.  Here is where I want to be, I've come a long way and I've done the work (still work to be done), which is such a gratifying feeling. A feeling I have a hard time feeling for myself, as I don't usually boast or brag, I am modest and reserved. 
I think all the things that help make 2022 a positive year, filled my heart with encouragement, it must be overflowing because I feel hopeful and positive about what 2023 will bring.
