This month is flying by pretty quickly. I have to say that this year has been filled with lots of great memories. My boys are doing so well in school and with soccer. Also, my husband has been wonderful in so many ways that I do not know where to start This year was filled with joy and lots of stress. I decided in February to have more of a healthy lifestyle. I have worked really hard on eating better and limiting refined and excess sugar. Also, I proved to myself that I did not need to stress eat junk food anymore.

As we approach 2026, I am proud of myself for making pretty health food choices throughout the holiday season. Also, I have done a pretty good job of working out consistently.

As for my work, I will say that becoming a teacher was very challenging and rewarding in many ways. Although I made the decision to go back to higher education, I could see myself teaching adjunct in the future. I learned a very hard lesson this year. Even though teaching did not turn out as I had planned, I am not a failure.

It’s time to finish 2025 strong!
