Looking back at the past year..wow! It has been quite the year. I went through a major heartbreak, a big move, started a new job and launched my own business. Looking back at the past year, although I had great pain at one point I believe the blessings were great. Hey even the pain was a blessing! It is funny how you plan things and life turns you a totally different direction. I never imagined this is how my life would be. Is my life now better than what I thought it would be...I can't confidently say yes. However, I do have faith that I am on a path to something bigger than what I had planned. I do have faith that my life is in control of someone that only wants the best for me.
I think I have grown a deeper appreciation for what I have, over the past year. I notice the little things. I give praise for the simple things. I know that everyday is another opportunity and a blessing. I haven't always had this attitude of gratitude. I think if my attitude had never improved my life would be showing it.
Over this next year I hope the optimism continues! I hope that my attitude also rubs off on those closest to me. No day is guaranteed. I hope that I can make the most of at least 85% of those days :) Happy 2013!
