My 2010

Oh what a year you have been. Filled with ups, downers and tons and tons of prescriptions drugs (all medically necessary). And memories for years to come.

This year for me was mostly downs the first half and nothing but ups the second half.  A year of growth, a year of realizations and without a doubt the single hardest year I have ever had to live through.  At times I felt like a pin cushion, a punching bag, an 80 year old women in the body of a 20 something and all I wanted to do was fester in bed.  Then I woke up. I survived it, and I am all the stronger for it.  I came through it with some amazing people, my family who stuck by me, a boyfriend whom I never expected to meet, didn't want to as a matter of fact, I wasn't ready.  Yet feel SO lucky to have met him that I am grateful everyday that he is in my life because seriously, what did I ever do to a deserve a man this awesome.  Most importantly this year I take with me some major life lessons learned and filed away in the memory banks.

I am fortunate to have come out of this year a stronger person and more importantly a happier person than when it started.  I can truly say that with everything that I have experienced I know I am truly loved by everyone in my life and I thank my lucky stars that they have chosen to be in it.
