Looking Forward to 2009

So another year has come and gone. It seems like the grown-ups were always right when I was a kid... the years do fly by a lot faster as you get older. I hate to imagine how fast they'll be going 10 years from now!!

Last year held alot of 'adventures' for me... from a complete mental breakdown, to almost going homeless, (which I didn't, thankful for the family I have =]) to finding who I'm 99.9999999% sure is my soul mate, to moving across the country. It's been quite a year.

As many bad things happened to me in 2008... I'll never want to forget it because the good things that happened to me outweigh the bad, by far. I've been given a chance to start over, and I've been given some wonderful people to start over with. Of course I will never ever forget the people I know that have stuck by me through everything.

It's true, that line from the movie "Hitch"... "Life isn't how many breaths you take.. but the moments that take your breath away."

The faster the years go by, the shorter I realize life really is, and the more I want to live it. I've had a few people tell me that going to England to spend the Holidays with Tyler this year probably isn't a good idea... and they have good reason to worry, but how am I to know if I don't take a chance? I mean... sure... something bad COULD happen... but if I don't take that risk.. I could miss out on the best experience of my life.

I've had some truly great people in and out of my life, and I'll never forget anything. Even the bad things that have happened to me have pointed me in the direction to where I am now, and I couldn't wish for anything better.

“Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like its heaven on earth.” ~Mark Twain

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, well I sometimes just let the lemons rot and then I can just throw them away. I am glad you have learned to make lemonade.
