2011 Good Year?!?

A friend was over on Sunday, January 1, 2012 and he asked me if I was glad 2011 was over and 2012 was starting. I told him that I actually enjoyed 2011, but excited about the future.

Why was 2011 so good for me?

• I love being an aunt. Lacey brings me smiles almost daily. Don't get to see her daily, but any story that involves her usually makes me smile.
• I am narrowing down friendships that are strong and mean the world to me. So many friends support me unconditionally and will lovingly tell me when I am wrong. Love that. Love that we are so confident in our friendship that we encourage this with one another.
• Finished with graduate school!!!!
• Work has been great! It is great to know that I love my career. There are few days that I leave the office overwhelmed or frustrated with the job. I also feel like I continue to develop positively in my role with the department.
• I have become confident in my self. I accept who I am and loving the way I am. It's nice to be this way instead of always finding flaws.

Is that enough to make the year great? I think so! I hope 2012 will bring me to a new level with my career, my friendships, spiritually, and financially. God has blessed me unconditionally and I pray that he will continue to bless me with my desires.
