I have faced the deepest sorrows and the sweetest joys in 2012! I have stretched and grown more than I ever have. I have gained a level of confidence in myself that can only come from the wear and tear of life. I have learned that when faced with the seemingly impossible, my mind and body will find the sliver of hope to help me persevere. I have learned to trust my instinct and now know the smell of something fishy. I am a year older and a year wiser. And I have a promising year ahead of me to grow even more.
If I could choose one thing to carry with me into 2013, it would be that life goes on. Even the worst of days are only just a day. The sun will set with a promise of another chance and then rise again with the hope of a new day.
I have come to understand that I have a lot of issues with life that I need to learn to let go. I have a lot of built up anger for the things that have happened to me and I have a lot of frustration with the things that I cannot control. I will do my best to fix the issues this year that I can and let go of the ones that I cannot.
I will learn to laugh more; to find the funny in the crazy. I will learn to remember the good times and draw on them to get me through the storms that will surely come.
I will learn to find light in the dark. I will learn to seek out happiness and to also bring happiness wherever I go. I will try to be kind "for everyone is fighting a hard battle."
I will let go of the ones that I have lost. I will form new relationships with good people who build me up rather than tear me down. I will venture to not only have friends, but to be a friend.
Lastly, I will make the most of the next 365 days and beyond given to me. I will treat each day like a gift. I will treat each moment as precious. I will do my best to remember what is important in life and try not to let my wishful thinking take me far from those important things.
Welcome to my blog. :D
