Its amazing what a single digit can do to my mental state. Knowing its a fresh start is such an invigorating feeling. Reflecting, i'm glad 2011 is over. For some reason, it seems to have been a tumultuous year with many mistakes in it. But also some of the best moments in it. I feel ive been stretched.. and I feel a fire in me I haven't felt in a while. Its motivating.
In 2012, I am going to take more risks and try to just always do the right thing. I am going to be decisive and assertive and more transparent. Indecision bread paralysis this past year.. missed opportunities to be close to people who would make me a better person and that I could love, and missed opportunities to just live in the moment, many perfect moments wasted. I am going to stop ruminating about good memories of the past and start making new ones. In 2011 I was haunted by a lot of good memories, especially about relationships that I took for granted, and so I am stopping that now. Its time to recreate and stop letting disappointment leave me in a state of inertia.
My 2012 mantra is as follows:
“The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.' Consider nothing impossible, then treat the possibilities as probabilities.”
― David Copperfield
I miss you both and cant wait to see your faces soon.
Mare, that was soul-searching. I haven't been on the blog in so long and I miss sharing our thoughts with each other. I feel like you voiced emotions very similar to my own lately. I have been feeling the same new old fire of motivation to move forward and stop spinning my wheels. I am excited about life and excited about the possibilities (ahem, probabilities!)that are on the next page. Yay for 2012 and three young, happy and driven women!

God brought us all togetha for a reason :) Sometimes i think of Him in a really fluffy, cliche way, and sometimes His hand is so evident. Lately, its been the latter, hard to articulate.
