MY BLOG: GRATITUDE FOR A YEAR IN THE LIFE

It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since I wrote my first blog. So much has happened in this life of mine since then. There have been ups, downs, highs and lows. And, you, my friends, my readers, have been faithful to read, comment and encourage me each step along the way.

I'm hopeful that in coming days and weeks to be more faithful in making entries, as I continue to grow. There are many exciting things going on in my life right now. Friendships are being formed, shells are being broken and, while I'll admit that there's a bit of anxiety in my life right now, I'm excited at the twists and turns life has taken over these last couple of months.

So often I've written about hitting a brick wall, feeling like I had reached the end of my growth, but, more often than not, within a few days, the growth cycle starts right back up again. Thank you for following me as I've dealt with my anxieties, my break-up, my personal growth and my off-the-wall ramblings about life.

Here's my confession: This blog is an important part of my life, and your comments have been an important part of the last year. This has been my sounding board. Often times I'm more confused than grounded, often times I'm more distraught than at peace, but all in all, I believe that my life is headed in the right direction. I have to constantly remind myself to stay focused on the NOW, because that's truly all that I have. The last year has been filled with new friendships, new experiences, and in many ways, a new me. I'm excited to see where I'll be a year from now.

You may realize that I missed my gratitude blog for last week. It really wasn't intentional, but today, I express my deepest gratitude for accompanying me on this journey. Please keep reading. There's so much more to come...
