I know at this stage in my life it is common to feel time moving faster and faster…but this year was a total blur.  It was a year of forced selflessness, frustration, struggle, growth and a time of moving through boundaries.  I’ve always preached that true growth can never be easy, and this year certainly wasn’t easy…but it was worthwhile.  I’ve learned to avoid attaching too much definition to a moment, because it all changes with perspective.  I’ve learned to expand my perspective and let go of a lot of old attachments, which has expanded these moments into understandable patterns.  It’s funny though, that the closer the attachment, the less perspective I seemed to have…especially with my family.  The men in my house still remain the central source of my insanity and at time my personal evolution.  I am a better person, most days anyway, because of them.  As I look forward to the new year, I will not commit to any resolutions, because I’m not sure what that would mean.  Of course I want to focus on remaining healthy and sharing my gifts to the world, which also means trying to focus on what exactly those gifts are.   I feel like there is more I can do, and my spirit is feeling compressed, like I can’t breathe any more.  I know there is much work to be done, and I’m hoping that I will have what it takes to make the journey…I do pray that wherever the road takes me that I am afforded good friends along the way, they add a much needed perspective and celebration to the journey.  Happy New Year everyone!
