2009.....
A lot happened this year! Changes in my life made me stronger and more appreciative of just how blessed I really am. I saw joy and heartache. No, the heartache wasn't gut wrenching, but emotional heartache is what I felt. I experience the end of some relationships and the strengthing of some others. Family bonds have gotten stronger and I have a deeper sense of just how important my family really is.
It's kind of odd, but I was chatting with my sister the other day and I stated that I didn't have friends. I do have friends, but doing things with my friends is limited. I am not as extroverted as I once was, but I am completely fine with that. I have felt that over that past 9-10 years since college I have grown inward a bit, but in a good way. I'm not always seeking the attention like I once used to. I'm happy with myself in so many ways. I love my life. Yes, there are some things that need improving, but hey I'm not perfect.
2009 was a decent year. I changed jobs, not occupation, but positions actually. I am happier in my occupation because of the change in position. I am learning again, which I believe had been put on hold for the past three years. I am challenged daily, but I am becoming stronger as a result of it.
Resolutions are really my thing so choose to make gradual changes throughout the year. Besides no one really sticks to their resolutions anyway. Haha! Probably the one thing that I really want to do this next year is start my master's. I will and in due time will have my master's degree. So with that being said....2009 was a year of good change in just about every part of my life. I am truly thankful for what has happened.
Two mottos I have been living by this past year and will continue remember:
It's not about what happens to me, It's about how I choose to respond.
I doesn't matter what people think about me, it's none of my business anyway.
