Reflection

2013 is coming to a close and I've been thinking a lot about the ups and downs of this year. There have been the highest highs and the lowest lows, but what I feel more than anything at the end of it all is changed. Profoundly changed. At 32 I am just beginning to feel like a grown-up. I think it can be hard at my age without a husband or children to feel as if your life is really your own. It is easier to remain the child to your parents and the dutiful sister, cousin, niece to your respective relatives. But your life is absolutely what you make of it and when you decide your ready to make change, change will happen. It's actually pretty extraordinary. So working towards the life that I want to live is where I find myself at the close of 2013. I am hopeful that 2014 will be filled with so much that I can't even imagine. I hope you have a wonderful and safe New Years.
