Reflecting

I really can't believe that we are getting ready to end 2010. This year has passed by with so fast, yet when I think on the things that happened this year they almost feel like a lifetime ago.


The year started out in an excited rut (how's that for oxymoron?). I had met someone I was so excited about and felt like "this was finally it", but also in a job that was good, but it wasn't what I wanted my forever to be and I felt like I would be stuck there forever. 


Needless to say it only took a few months to find out that the "this is finally it" was actually dysfunction junction and that someone I had called friend for years was actually a manipulative liar. It was happy times let me tell you! But in the midst of all of that hurt and crazy I found myself surrounded by amazing friends, a great church, and a new job.


The job is amazing - it of course has it flaws, (what job doesn't?) but it has been great to be excited about what I'm doing and enjoying who I work for/with. My church continues to bless me and makes me happy that I can call it home. And my friends...I wish everyone could have friends like mine. They really are amazing people, and I can't imagine having journeyed through this year without them.


Things I would change about this year.... There's only one thing I would change about this year and there's still time to fix it - the rest ehe, I chalk it up to life/learning experiences.


I'm excited for 2011. I don't have a clue what's in store for the next year, I'm not even going to set up expectations for what I "hope" or think might happen. I will just let the year surprise me. I do, however  anticipate that it will be one of my greatest years yet.


I hope that you end 2010 with no regrets and I wish great things for your 2011.

Dear 2010

Dear 2010,

Welcome! In case you were unaware your brother, 2009, sucked. I have high expectations for you. Although, this first week you have been a severe let down. Let's just hope and pray that's old whatshisbutt 09' just clearing out his remnants.

I need you to be a much better year please. Be kind to my heart, it can't take another year like last year.

I promise in turn that I will try to do right by you, and I will let everyone know what a great year you are.

I hope you don't let me down. It's early and even though it's been a ridiculously rough start, I have already started to love you. Don't let me down!

Lovingly yours,
Sandrine
