Well... here we are in 2010 and I have not written one thing. So, I figure why not start now? The first part of this year has been filled with many things. A new journey in my NEW home, fun family stuff, my own personal path beginning, new friends and old ones, and other assorted changes. But as much good as there has been, there has been a fair share of sadness too.
The good mixed in with the bad is a typical reminder of how life is supposed to be. Things can't always be perfect. But, it is in the times when things are not always the best that we realize how good we really have it. We realize that we need to appreciate the wonderful things - laughing, walking outside in the sun, holding the hand of the one we love, or even something as simple as having a clean house... Life may be full of ups and downs but it is in these moments that it feels just right. This is my year to appreciate the good things even if they are simple.
This year holds the key to my future... as do most years but what I mean is, this is the year I find out about school. I submitted my application for the masters program that I had been looking into and now I am patiently awaiting an answer. If all goes well this time next year school will be in full swing for me. In the meantime I am taking a few more classes to continue with my pre requisites and trying to do some part time work here and there. I am looking forward to what the future holds.
In other things I am finally in my new home... Michael and I have been waiting so long to come home and really be in OUR home. After almost three years of looking diligently, we found it. We moved in december and have been slowly adjusting as the clock ticks by. We are enjoying being out closer to both our family and friends. It is a real pleasure to have my mom one minute away and my best friend in the next building over (literally)! I am looking forward to many wonderful days and nights in this new place and cannot wait for dinner parties and hangouts galore.
For now, I am taking one day at a time. The list of to do's keeps growing, but everyone says that when you finally buy a place there is always something to do. That is true, to my knowledge so far. In between the moments of "doing" I am trying to stop and smell the roses, or in my case - the rose bushes that the gardeners recently pruned on the pathway leading to my door. Because it is in these moments that I am the happiest. Doing some of the most simple things. Have a nice weekend.
