New year, new beginnings...
Aug. 15th, 2006 07:06 amHello, my loves!
Last Saturday was my 26th birthday. A year older, a year wiser. As I'm coming down off the second-to-weirdest birthday of my life, it's a good time to go back over the year, both recent events, and overall developments. There's been a lot of change and growth. Lessons learned, rewards earned. Friends made, friends lost. And mostly, choices have been made. It's a good theme, because in the end, it all comes down to the choices we make. The difference between what is right and what is easy can depend completely on your point of view. Sometimes, changing course can be the hardest thing in the world, because it's easier to continue along with the track you've already selected. However, if you can sleep soundly at night, you can know you've made the right one. Knowing that you can move forward with your life is also a good clue. The sense of standing on your own two feet, despite pressure to do otherwise... very important. Feeling surrounded by people who care deeply for you - best proof anyone could ever ask for. Despite all the bumps in the road, I've had an excellent year. Here's a peek into where I've been:
