I kinda love Monday's because I get awesome emails like this one from awesome best friends who are serving missions! DAY TOTALLY MADE SISTER ANDERSON!! But really guys, I had tears in my eyes after reading her email this week. She's been gone for a month and I know that the next 17 will be filled with so many amazing things, for both of us! And I can't wait to get another email or letter from her! She's the best! Monday's actually aren't as bad as they could be!;)
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...
