This past year has been a tough one. I was laid off, which I never thought would happen. I have had battles and struggles, which I did not anticipate and seem to be coming to peace with. Although the thought of having to go through it again exhausts me, I wouldn't change it in the least bit. It has definitely made me a stronger, better person. Some times the best things come out of the times when you think that things could not get any worse. I am thankful that I can look back on those times and realize that I have grown and occasionally laugh at the craziness of it all. Looking back I realize I have/am:
* Become more confident in myself and my abilities
* Am excited to learn something new each day
* Learned to focus on the things that I can change
* To be patient with life
* Learned the important people in my life are there through the good times and especially there for me
during the bad
Finally, I feel like I am falling into place with myself. And honestly, this "journal" of sorts has been a great source of expression along the way.
