You know those days where you just have one thing on your mind, and no matter how hard you try you cant push it away? And you don't necessarily WANT to push it away but you SHOULD because you have a million and twelve other things that you should be thinking about? Yeah well that was today. And unfortunately for me I have four classes on Tuesday's and Thursday's from nine to almost three...so I most definitely had other things that I should have been focusing on. And a very very good friend of mine today said "What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet :)" (PS. she posted it on Facebook and doesn't know that I stole it, but she ALWAYS has the perfect thing to say!!) Let me just say SHE IS TOTALLY RIGHT! It IS a wonderful thing to think about..that the happiest times of my life are still to come! It just makes me smile. And doesn't that just sound wonderful? Say it with me "the best is yet to come." Repeat it a few times, it's that good. Then I think back to what's been on my mind all day and it makes it all okay. It doesn't take things off my mind, but it brings a sense of assurance just knowing that the best is yet to come:)
This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
