365 Days - A Retrospective

Is it amazing to you what can happen in a year? I haven't thought about it too much in the past, but 2007 was a huge year of change. One that brings about a chance to reflect differently than before. It's nice to finally be excited about the coming year. I keep saying that. . . "I'm excited about this year". As if to assume I've never been terribly overcome with anticipation about what the new year will bring. I felt that way last year, but I've come to the conclusion that it was for a specific reason. I thought the new year was going to bring a new life, specifically relating to one person. Not a series of events, or the possibilities of new wonderful things. . . simply a person. Simple.

This year is different. It helps that what I thought was going to happen last year didn't happen, but I think that's the key. I had a specific plan in my head and was let down because it didn't pan out. This time, when I think about what could come to me this year, I'm overcome by a million different possibilities. I feel in control. Like I can MAKE things happen, as opposed to waiting to see . . .

Last year, I fell in love which was followed by heartbreak, I quit my job and went to massage therapy school; which lead to getting job that I absolutely love. As hard as it may be, change can bring about strange things in people. For me, last year, change was exactly what I needed. (Insert all manner of cliches here). Which brings me to my retrospective. I'm excited about this year. I'm curious to see what I can make happen. I'm anxious to look back at my year in December, maybe read this blog entry, and say, "Wow, this year kicked ass . . . finally."
