2011

I must admit that 2011 was a great year. All in all it was a quiet year and for that I am most thankful. The funny thing is when you look back over the years of your life some years are defiantly better than others. Some years seem to drag on from one year into another and it feels like the bad luck will never run out and the "storm" will never pass. Then before you know it you are at the end of another year and realize that the "storm" of previous years has indeed passed and the last year of life was rather dull and a much needed rest. And because you have know lived long enough and been through enough and seen enough you know realize that sometimes you get much needed rest before the "storms" in life continue on. After all isn't that just life?! Isn't it how we learn and then appreciate all the good?! Isn't that how we grow in hopes of becoming something more, someone better, so when we leave this world we leave it a better place?!

Yes there are many good things in saying good bye to the end of another year and saying hello to the start of a new one. Being able to reflect back and see the good. Also being able to look back and see what you need to change and work on. The difficult thing is realizing somethings you can change and somethings you can't. Learning to find the good and accepting it in the the things you can't change is hard. But digging deep and actually doing the work to change the things you can change then changing them is harder.

So what goals do I have for the new year? To simply dig deep. "Just Do It" if you will. And to remember, "when your happy like a fool.... let it take you over.... when everything is up you got to take it in!" Because its going to be a Good Good life:)

  1. I really do like those boring moments. The down side is that I know they are only moments. I'm glad to be through last year. I always think, this year has to be better than last year...and in some ways it is, many it's only harder. Last year was difficult, but it ended on a wonderful note and I have high hopes for this year!
