I knew 2024 was going to be better. Its an even number that equals 8. And the number 8 is about abundance and prosperity. The number 8 represents balance, as it unites the conscious with the unconscious and earthly with the spiritual. My personal life path number is also 8, so feeling aligned is an understatement. Slowly as the year has progressed I have felt better and more awakened to my life goals. The last 3 years since COVID, everything has been upside down and I have just been waiting for everything to fall into place.
I moved (yes, a 3rd time!) at the end of January into SC from NC. I was super hesitant because the NC mountains are gorgeous. I really pictured life there. But it just was not working. My jobs were stressful. I was just not happy and could not find my happy. I was offered my job back with the first company I was with when we moved to western NC, and after much thought, I accepted. It finally felt right. I gave notice to my current job, and was treated so unkind that it threw me off mentally. Even though I had a plan and was moving and starting new, I was caught up in some sad emotions at the same time. I allowed myself some time to cry and process, and decided to let it go and move on. January was a rough month as I also landed in the ER due to gallstones. I didnt have surgery, they said it was not that bad yet, but I had to change my eating habits. Since that night, I have drastically changed the way I eat and have had no attacks since. On top of it all, I have lost weight and I FEEL better.
We got moved into our new place on January 29th, and it has been so amazing to have a big, beautiful new home. We moved south into SC, just down the mountain from NC. I started my job on Feb 5th, and it has really been great to be back with this company. The stress is truly gone, I love the people I work with, and I just feel happy.
We had been wanting to adopt a dog for so long, and on Feb 22nd, we found Charlie. He had been waiting for us too. We have already bonded so much with him, and love him and know he is so happy to have a home. Charlie was in foster since June 2023 and was rescued from a bad home. The foster said others had met Charlie but they just didnt vibe with him. When we arrived to meet him, he latched on! He has been home with us for a few days, and he is just so sweet and loving. We are overwhelmed with love.
I knew 2024 was going to be different. That something had to give from the previous years filled with chaos and loss. My husband lost a few family members and I had also lost some family and friends. I know that no matter what 2024 brings, we have each other and our fur babies (Dexter & Charlie) and we are a family. That feels good.
I cant wait to see what else is in store for us, and hope that everyone sees more happy in their lives this year as well. The biggest focus I have had is finding contentment. At the end of the day, that is where you will find your happy. Being content with your life, being present in the moment, and being grateful for what you have rather than what you want.
Cheers!
Jen
