The ending of another year is bittersweet for me, as I assume it is for most people. On one hand it makes me sad. Another year over, another year older, you know all of those nostalgic feelings that are met with mixed emotions. When I think about that fact that Todd and I have spent 20 years together now, Emily will be soon be 7 and our parents are beginning to age I simply want to stop time. Just make it stand still and soak it all up like a sponge. Because most often I feel like time really does pass too quickly.
Then there's the other hand......the one that is glad to have the past year behind me. 2010 was not a good year. I almost feel guilty saying that because I am not a complainer and God has blessed me beyond belief. I didn't lose a loved one, a marriage or a job. My health is good, I have everything that I need and some of the things that I want. But I won't lie 2010 was a challenging year for me. My job has required me to add a lot of things to my plate that has proved to be a juggling act for me in my personal life as well as my professional life. Spiritually, I have felt like this has been a year of 1 step forward and 2 steps back. It's been a struggle. I feel like the closer I get to God the harder it is to get close to God. Todd and have had some issues to deal with as a couple as well. And it's been taxing at best. So as I sit here reflecting on the past year I am glad that it is behind me and I am counting on 2011 being a better year!
My friends, I wish you all happiness and good health; peace and prosperity in 2011. It's going to be a good year!
Hugs,
Keely
