2007 Reflection

This year has been a very interesting one. I think I've grown more as a person, as a mother, and as a wife. I only hope that I can continue to grow in a positive way for myself and my family. I've had a child, lost a friend, bought a house, in a leap of faith took a new position, with a new company... and all of those things are nothing in comparison to what I've learned about myself, about my life, about my husband, and my children. This year has taught me to take life as it comes, not to be so serious, and to love with all my heart, even when it hurts... I've also learned that God has a plan for my life, and that it's not all about me... I have to listen when he speaks, even if it's not what I want to hear, and I've learned not to lean to my own understanding... because my ways and my thoughts are nothing like what He has in store for me... I've learned to take a step back and evaluate my surroundings... I've also learned that life is way to short for bullshit. I've even learned how not to sweat the small stuff. I have come to realize that you can have great friends, and even though you've not met them in person, they mean a lot more to you than you realize... You laugh together, cry together, and celebrate together, and that's a wonderful thing. You have someone to share your triumphs and your failures, and not only do they not judge you, but they have constructive criticism to give you... To my blog buddies, a big thanks! Here's to a wonderful 2008! May it be filled with love, laughter, and tons of good times!

Much Love To You All!!!
