Well, It’s another year over with and for me I’m glad to be seeing a new one come in.
When I look back on the year just gone I see life bringing up situations or problems that I had had before but either not dealt with properly or have tried to ignore hoping that the situations would sort themselves out.
Funny how life wont let you get away with too much.
So, it’s been a year of closes. Sorting out, finishing off, facing up to, dealing with and closing the door on. Leaving behind a part of me, a part that I have out grown, a part of my life I’m glad to have gotten through. It has been a hard year but all the tests that life sends us will only make us stronger. I beleive nothing happens in our life that we can not handle. I got through it, a little scared, a little hurt, a little saddened but Oh… so much wiser. Now is the time to leave it all behind and only take forward with me the lessons that I have learnt.
Things can only get better from here on in -
The start of a new year can also be the start of a new life and for me that’s just how I feel.
I look forward to this coming year more than I have looked forward to a new year for a long time.
I am excited with anticpation of what is around the corner.
Change is one thing the average human doesn’t like. We all feel more comfortable when we are in familiar circumstances. But change is one thing that will not stay still for anybody and how would we grow and learn if it were not for change. I too like the familiar, when everything is going right, but these changes coming are going to be welcomed with open arms.
Life has never really let me settle in one place too long. Something has always come along and uprooted me, led me in another direction than what I thought I was heading in, be it circumstances or living arrangements. 4 years is the longest time I have ever lived in one place since I was sixteen and that was many years ago. So, yes, I am used to change, not that I have ever had a choice. But to resist it only makes it all that much harder to deal with.
So, I say, come on 2010, I am ready and looking forward to what you are about to show me.
And this year, I feel with all my heart, is going to be a good year. A year where things will go right for me, a year where I will prosper, a year where I will be able to say that all the hard times have been worth it. It is all those hard times I have dealt with that have made me who I am now. And I’m proud to say that I am a good person.
