Good Bye 2010

On this last day of the year, I sit here in my house listening to the pouring rain outside reflecting on the past 365 days. Its been a different kind of year, 2010. Well, maybe not. There have been some good times and some not so good times; I have made some new friends, reconnected with some old (well past) friends; laughed some, cried some; learned some, forgot some. I have been excited and disappointed; been in love and had my heart broken.

It hasn't been my favorite year, but I am still grateful for the good things that happened. And although not all my prayers were answered in 2010, it was still a good year. I suppose now I have 2011 to look forward to seeing what God wants to do with my life.

I am not one to make New Year's Resolutions because I know I never keep them. Instead I just look at my current vision for my life and see if there are changes I need to make for the upcoming year. Inevitably I will be promising myself that I will live a healthier lifestyle this year including eating better, drinking more water, and exercising. I will work harder, pray more, be grateful for the little things, and not sweat the other stuff. I will be a better sister, daughter, aunt, co-worker and friend. Yes, I have big aspirations and no, I will not do all these things perfectly, but "if you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else."
