Life is a journey of change ~ a constant flow of beginnings and endings.
One of the greatest lessons of 2010 was the importance of embracing change and realizing no matter how difficult it can be at times, it happens and finding a peace with the circumstance is far easier than resisting the path life offers.
There is a reason for everything, and every moment of each day are tiny impressions upon life's grand overall scheme. Ups and downs, dreams and worries, setbacks and giant leaps all combine to create the beautiful portrait of our individual journeys on this planet.
We truly do have the power to make our lives what we want them to be, and this takes courage, hard work, persistence, and a passionate belief system in one's self.
So 2010, thank you for making me a stronger person. You offered up a load of changes, and now I know they were all for the good. I'm going to bundle up this year's memories and lessons learned and use them as stepping stones into 2011. I am ready more than ever to take chances and try out new territory. My creative juices are ready to flow, my reveries are going to blossom into realities, and my heart is going to embrace everything that comes my way.
Here's to happy endings and new beginnings!
