2011- Winding Down

I try to live in the present moment as much as possible. The past can stay behind me as I walk towards the future, thanks. But as 2011 draws to an end I think it's safe to indulge in a little moment of reflection over what this year has brought me:

An ending to certain toxic friendships, a deeper understanding of myself, a new home, and of course, a journey into motherhood. It was a whirlwind of laughter and tears and other sentimental nonsense. Could I ever have imagined this time last year what life would have in store for me? Not a flying chance.

But I'm grateful for the last twelve months. For the people who really came through for me during the hard times, and even for the departure of fairweather friends. For the family, some bound by blood and others by spirit, who have stood by all along.

Life truly is good and, folks, it's only going to get better.
