reflecting on the year behind us (almost).....and cherishing what lies ahead~
the year has floated by once again and i find myself reflecting on the many events that have occurred. life lessons were abundant this year....(as with every year, i suppose). i am constantly learning to be more grateful and to be more patient.....with myself mostly, but also with others. the lessons are often humbling and that's okay too. i believe that we learn more about ourselves when we are humbled.
friendships change. some friends are made by nature and circumstances, some by chance.....others are just plain soulful and stronger than superglue. some friendships evolve and some are meant to dissolve. this is okay....i truly believe that we are put with certain people when we or they need it the most. things aren't meant to go smoothly all the time and the friendships that are the strongest will rise and fall with the tide and the love will be stronger than the ocean's waves. of all the lessons, it is the realization that family is of so much importance that it really doesn't matter what any of the petty concerns and criticisms are. although we are all so different~ we have the strongest bond imaginable and no matter what, we will be there for each other always. i am thankful for my sweet family and all of my friends old and new.

my word for this new year is "cherish".....i thought about it and have many more words that will do, but this one seems to suit me well at the moment. cherishing memories, friends, family, and all of life's lessons....i will focus for sure on the beautiful moments and the many blessings we have, and cherish them all~
~happy new year everyone~
