I can't say that I'm sad to see 2011 come to an end but I am happy to report that the year has come to a very promising end. If you would have told me this time last year that I would be divorced, in a brand new relationship, and falling in love with a wonderful man, I would have told you that you were crazy! But I am so thankful for the events of the past year and how they have changed my life in such a positive way. I finally feel like I'm allowed to be happy for the first time in a long, long time. I also feel like I am finally living my life instead of just being a passenger and allowing time to pass me by.
I suppose this reflection has come about because of another upcoming milestone: my 30th birthday which is a mere two days away. I am fortunate in that I have accomplished quite a bit in my short time on this earth. Although I won't admit it outside of this blog, I am actually excited to turn 30. It's almost a fitting end to a major chapter of my life and I'm secretly viewing it as the celebration of a new me!
My holidays were absolutely wonderful and I simply cannot wait to see what 2012 has to offer :)
