PROVERBIAL END OF THE YEAR REFLECTIONS

Oh 2010, you were an interesting year. Little did I know this time a year ago all that you would hold in store for me. . .

You helped me reacquaint myself with patience and faith while I lived in my parents' house [yet again], jobless and frustrated. You reminded me of the joys of adventure when I "visited" my brother and sister-in-law in southern California for five weeks. You allowed me to relax and enjoy the company of loved ones while traveling through Florida and the Caribbean. You showed me that God's timing is not my own when I finally landed a job with an organization that's near and dear to my heart, in a location that I've loved before, Colorado. You blessed me with a new stage in life, a new home, a new community that is challenging me, amazing me, growing me, and exciting me as I continue to see/experience all that it entails.

2010, while parts of you might not have necessarily been enjoyable, all of you was elemental in shaping and molding me, and for that I am grateful. Thanks for a good run!

. . . 2011, what do you have up your sleeve?
