I have taken some time to reflect on this past year and realized a few things. While things recently have been quite trying 2011 held a lot of peaks and valleys for my family and myself, personally and professionally. While recently life has been complicated I also remember that there were so many other huge positives. I would rather delve on those instances than the recent events. I guess the feeling of turmoil was fanned by the marked changes in our lives. We bought a home this year, our daughter started school, I started not one but two blogs and have dedicated myself to maintaining those blogs. These are some of the highlights, obviously there can be a myriad of additional items placed on this list some good and some not so good. Overall, the year was tumultuous to say the least, very high peaks and very deep valleys. I am not complaining, because as the saying goes, “every day is a gift.” There are many analogies to life, the one I relate to is that life is like an amusement park. Some people like the Ferris wheel (because it just goes around), others like to go on the rollercoaster (which has many lifts and falls), which do you prefer? Personally, I prefer the rollercoaster; however that ride can be scary at times.
I cannot tell you what the upcoming year might have in store, maybe 2011 will serve as a catalyst for many other endeavors and accomplishments? All I can hope for is that we all make it through with as much life, well-being, and love as we have had this year. Let’s all be thankful for the air in our lungs, the food on our tables, and for how amazing it is to be alive right now!
To my entire viewership and all of those whom you may touch Happy Holidays and a Joyous Prosperous New Year!
