Before I start I must give 2010 its due respect. To complain about this year would make me a very ungrateful individual. 2010, I must call you my very best year. I use the best lightly because I can honestly say that I went through many hurdles and never faltered. This year I cried more than the last, laughed more than last, prayed more than the last and grew more than any other.
I end this year at all time high and will start 2011 with so many things accomplished. I thank this year for the bravery I have developed and for the confidence that escapes from my pores. It was a year of many decisions: good and bad, but mostly good. I thank this year for all the wonderful lessons, resilience and perseverance. This year I stopped planning and I started doing. I guess that is the difference between a dream accomplished and a dream deferred: action.
Thank you for teaching me about friendship. About the value of family, sisters and mothers and fathers. Thank you for helping weather the storm.
I don’t want to make this a negative note but there is one thing I wish to leave with you, 2010, as I move on to 2011, all regret. I never want this to be part of my vocabulary.
Quick lessons I learned from you: To never give up. To shut up and listen. To keep your ideas to yourself. To not judge others by what hearsay. To never lose sight of me. That only I can make me happy. To live for me. To let go and move on. To FORGIVE.
At the beginning of the year I went through my low period. I hit rock bottom and then…. There was no where else to go UP. Then I flew, I grew, I knew… I finally let go.
Still, I must admit. There is so much more to learn… to grow. Yet, 2010 you’ve prepared me for a long journey. After surviving your wrath I can get through anything. You helped see the worse and best of me. Now it’s time to make due and show 2011 just how hard 2010 worked to give life to the woman I am today.
