Wrapping Up 2010

As I move through my life day to day I slowly am putting myself together. Setting up who I am going to be for the rest of my life. Solidifying friends, moving forward with a career (or at least trying to,) learning what makes me angry and what I am capable of letting go... If someone were to tell me a year ago what a huge life-changing and experience-filled year this would have been I would have told them they were crazy. I loved and lost, mourned and laughed, got a new car and had to fix it up, I started learning a new musical instrument, playing games, and accomplishing things on my life list. I have spent days in bed crying, and time outdoors taking pictures, and I have become so comfortable in my own skin that I finally can look myself in the mirror without wincing and wishing I was looking at someone else.

As this year is coming to a close, I can think back and be nothing but grateful for everything life has taught me and given me this year. I believe it was all the direction I needed to go. (Minor annoyances forgiven.)

I can only imagine what the next year will bring me, but I already have a few resolutions that I will be working on. (And have gotten a jump start on.)

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I would like to express some things I am thankful for. However, this is only a few.

Brittany- You and I always have our times that we do not spend time together and don't really speak to one another, and I am so thankful that even after those silences we can go back to being sisters as always without even missing a beat. I carry you in my heart every day.

Alex- You are a beautiful little boy and even though I do not spend nearly as much time with you as I should, I love you more than anything out there and would do anything to see you laugh.

Mom and Dad- Even though you wont see this, your love and support this year has truly
overwhelmed me.

Aunt Sandra and Uncle Earl- Likewise, you will not see this. But the vacation from my life you allowed me to take, and the new perspective you put on things allowed me to come back to the real world and face my problems head on. And kick the shit out of them :)

Michael- You are quickly becoming one of my best friends, and the connection we have (psychic abilities included) is magical and amazing and I am just glad to have had you around. I am thankful to get to close out this year with you, and begin a new one with you at my side.

Mother nature- You gave us a pretty messed up year, but this autumn has been a beautiful and happy one, and I hope that you bring us snow like all the weather people seem to believe you will.

The book Eat Pray Love- This book made me take a step back and observe my life in a new light. I restarted a few things about myself because of this book, and I will continue to go back to it when times get tough. If I could hug the author right now, I would.

Seth- I am so glad that you and I have reconnected, and I feel a bond with you that I know will result in a life-long friendship. Thanks for being there when I need you, and I hope you know that I will be there for you as well.




That is all for now, perhaps when I get back in to the typing mood later I will resume this thanking list. In the mean time, Adios.
With love, as always.
