Hey everyone!
Hope you were able to enjoy the Christmas holiday with family, friends, and loved ones, as well as remember Christ being the reason for the season.
I can’t believe another year is coming to an end. I was just telling a friend of mine last week that I wasn’t ready for the new year just yet, because the year seems to have went by too quickly for me to really take everything in and welcome 2011 in with open arms. But in the last few days, I’ve been able to rest, recoup, and take in the past year and where I am now and now I’m ready for 2011. I’m curious to see where 2011 takes me, but have to say I’m amazed by what 2010 has been brought. Here’s a rundown of 2010:
January- spent much time reflecting and being ready for whatever the year would bring
February- I entered a 5 month relationship, started off blissfully and but quickly became a trainwreck. No regrets though, will DEFINITELY appreciate my Issac when he does enter my life
March- I was able to go to Kansas City and network with other mental health professionals who work with the Deaf/Hard of Hearing population and catch up with my oldest friend, Joelle
April- final exams, enjoying the blooming spring season, and enjoying my new spring wardrode (I’d lost weight the months prior)
May- brought a month of me running around trying to tie up lose ends before ending my 2nd year as a school social worker, and going to Osage Beach with my mom and sister Memorial Day weekend---good times had
June- the beginning of my summer break, my 29th birthday (last birthday in my 20s----whoo hoo!!), and going to Chicago with Joelle—many memories created
July- brought me ending my relationship, beginning a new part time job at a local library, and me getting back into blogging more often
August- began my 3rd year of school social work and re-evaluating my life
September- got back to remembering the things I should be focusing on at this point of my life
October- me learning I had completed my licensure hours—Thank you Jesus!
November- I saw once again how distractions can be a hindrance or propelling force—decided to let it be my propelling force
December- prepared for the holiday season at the last minute, seeing the logistics of my business slowly coming together, being reminded that what is easy is not always the best thing to do, and ready to embrace 2011
Unlike the beginning of 2010, I will be making a resolution, since I didn’t make one for my 29th birthday. I gotta have my lists! :) I have no clue what 2011 will bring, but I have to say I’m very excited about it being the year that holds my 30th birthday. It’s funny to think this time two and three years ago I dreaded turning the big 3-0, because life had not worked out the way I thought it would. Now I believe my 30s will be the decade that what I thought I wanted in my 20s, I will have in my 30s and more importantly than that, be ready and prepared for those things. Whatever 2011 and beyond brings, I’m ready!
"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
- Psalm 37:4 KJV
Until next time or in this case next year!:)
