On this day exactly a year ago I wrote my bucket list. I woke up one Dec 1, 2010 with so much enthusiasm, so much optimism, and such a thirst to enjoy life, as I had never felt before. This time last year I wasn't in the best of places, I was still staggering from a 5 year relationship that ended in the blink of an eye, where I felt blind sided...in a moment my life and change, and it wasn't until this day last year, I decided to do something about it.
If I could only go back and talk to myself then, help dig myself out of the hole which I was trapped in. Oh the things I would tell myself...which others told me, but never seemed possible...but they are. Everything everyone said was true, everything my family said while they dried my eyes was absolutely true. But I guess it's something you need to realize for yourself.
I never thought I was going to be happy again, but I find myself now happier than ever before! I felt like the world had ended, and yet it is proven to me day by day that it has not. I thought I'd never meet anyone again, and yet I've meet so many utterly amazing people. Lastly, I never thought I'd have fun again, I never thought my life would be anything other than gloom and misery, BUT that has to be the biggest pack of lies ever! My New Years resolution to make 2011 my best year ever has so far been a complete success. I've done so much!! I've seen so much! I've had more fun this past year than I can remember having in such a long time, and the best part is that I still have a whole month to enjoy it.
I am blessed. I am truly and utterly blessed, to have in my life the people I do. To be able to experience the things that I have. To be able to look forward to the wonderful direction my life is going in. So to those in my life, whether I've known you for years, or met you yesterday, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, you've helped me shape who I am today.
