As 2011 came to and end and 2012 began I found myself reflecting on what a rollercoaster year 2011 had been. It seemed as if every single month brought along with it different lessons, emotions, endings and new beginnings. Looking back I really feel as if 2011 was "My Year." By that I mean it was my year to find out just how strong I really am. It was my year to learn lessons many people do not learn in a lifetime.
I learned that listening to your heart is the quickest way to happiness. I learned that true love can pass any test even when others say it is impossible. I learned that forgiveness no matter how hard, will always bring you peace. I learned that sometimes the people you never expected make the best confidants. I learned things happen in their own time and in their own way and just because things do not happen the way I think that they should does not mean it is wrong. It means that is how it was supposed to happen to me and that is perfect. Most importantly, I learned that I am strong, really strong and that even when we have been kicked down, walked over and spit on we should still always look for the good in people. We should forgive them, find out about them and help them, because at the end of the day all we ever really have is one another.
As i reflect over all the lessons I learned in 2011 I have to let out a big sigh of relief, as much as I appreciate 2011 for the lessons it taught me, for the amazing fiance it gave me and for the wonderful new friends and family it brought in to my life I thank God that it is OVER!!! I am looking foward to 2012 and all of the wonderful events and surprises it has in store.... WEDDING, EUROPE, NEW HOME and whatever else it wants to throw at me. Bring it 2012 because after 2011 I CAN TAKE ANYTHING!!
