It was my Birthday recently and this got me thinking about how much has changed since January.
It has definitely been a year of highs and lows and I really do feel as though I have grown up and learnt a lot. There has been great loss and sadness and this has brought with it strength and determination. I have been inspired by the courage my friends have had in dealing with things they did not deserve to go through and were completely unexpected.
Things were put into perspective and one really good friend of mine has definitely reminded me to appreciate what you have and although there are times when you do need a good cry, lots of chocolate and cuddles, you do not have to wallow in your sadness and that the best thing to do is move forward in the best way you can.
It is almost scary to think about how different things in my life are now from January. How relationships have changed and evolved, although there have been some dissolutions there have also been brand new friendships which have grown incredibly strong.
I value my friends and what they teach me about myself and life. This year has been humbling and definitely one to remember.

Things have changed a lot for me since January, too. There have been quite a few events that have taken place this year that I wasn't expecting! Overall 2012 has been a much, much better year than I thought it would be.
ReplyDelete2013 will have its own changes and surprises. I'm looking forward to them. :)
