Mental Health. I Grow Stronger.

I know I've shared little sneak peeks on instagram, but here it is!  My quote/mantra/inspiration for this year will be the phrase: I Grow Stronger.


I'm pretty sure I've shared this before, but just in case I haven't... I struggle with Major Depression and a Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

It's been a Cold Christmas...

I've spent all Christmas sick. I still am sick, but I wanted to at least post something.

Here is a little sneak peek at what I got for Christmas. My friends and family know me so well. These cheered me up a bit. I got a coaster from anthropologie (I love me some coasters), a mug, Color-your-own greeting cards because I love sending snail mail! And many other things that aren't shown here.

I've also been working, feeling miserable all the while but I did my part. I spent yesterday in a feverish haze filled with strange dreams and feeling either too hot or too cold. My mom did make me a cup of tea today for my cold, I love her so much! It's Ginger and honey tea.

I wish all of you great health and that you enjoy the holidays with you loved ones.

Finally finished.

There was a power outage yesterday, and I decided to make the best of it. I finished a couple of my before the year ends goals.I'm proud of myself, and my productivity.

Before the Year Ends.

Here is a short list of what I want to accomplish before this year ends:



1. Finish a book.
I started this book months ago, and I would love to focus and finish it. One of my goals for next year is for me to get back into reading. I used to digest books, like I needed air and then I kind of went on a slump and haven't been able to get out of it. To fix this I joined a book club!  More about this later on.

2. Finish purging my closet.
I've been cleaning out my closet and setting aside clothes and shoes to donate. I hope to finish this by this week actually.

3. Visiting family members.
I'd like to go see some family members I haven't seen in a while before the year ends. Especially the ones that are in senior homes.

4. Holiday shows/movies.
I want to binge watch as may as I can. I haven't sat down to watch any, except two movies. I want to see the classics, the Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, The Year Without Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, etc.

5. Declutter my email!

I want to start the year with an organized and emptier inbox. So I'm going to challenge myself to declutter my inbox. To delete all those unnecessary emails that for some reason I keep. Delete all the spam, and get my inbox down from 945 emails (yikes I know!).



What is your year end to do list? Share it with me.
