A Sentimental Goodbye to 2007 - FB Note

I've always found the greatest beauty in simplicity and truth.

The simplicity of people, the beauty of nature and the greatness to be found in the little miracles of life. A beautiful sunrise, the smile on a child's face, a moment of peaceful solitude symbolises so much of what I know to be beautiful and it's a true reflection of the God I love.

It's the end of the year and I'm feeling sentimental. All that's happened, all I've experienced leaves me with a feeling of nostalgia. It's been a beautiful year. I've made and lost friends along the way, I've experienced the greatest happiness and just looking back, I wouldn't change much of it.

But as I close this chapter, I'm excited to be openning a new one. New challenges, new thrills and new memories to be made. For me this has been a year of growth & maturing. I let go of my past, embraced new opportunities and as I look back, I'm proud of the progress made.

My highlights definitely include holding my precious God-daughter for the first time, closing the chapter on my 4 year relationship, travelling the country and of course exposing myself by sharing my writing.

I see where I am today and I see a woman, no longer the big bright-eyed little girl who came to the big city 5 years ago. I'm still learning, discovering and growing. It excites & humbles me to see how far I've come and to think of the possibility of where I'm headed...
