Today is the first anniversary of my blog. Overall, I'm proud that I've managed to keep this going for a year, even though my posts have dwindled since I went back to school.When I think of where my life was at January 6, 2007, I'm partly astounded. And partly not.
Lots has happened, showing that no matter how good or bad your life seems, it changes. In fact, change is the only consistent thing. It always happens to us whether we want it or not.
One important lesson I remind myself -- there's no true control. Everything is fleeting. Trying to keep circumstances one way is like trying to hold water in your hands. Trying to move circumstances in the direction you want is pretty much the same thing.
In one short (but sometimes seemingly unending) year, I've resurrected some dreams and buried others. I've made new friends, rekindled friendships and accepted the great losses I've suffered that are now part of my history and of me. I've tried to be better at forgiving and seeing the good around me. And the good in me.
Thanks for reading (to the few of you who do)!
