The Things 2007 Has Given Me

As 2007 comes to an end, I am grateful for a new year. I'm happy to rid myself of my daily planner that had all of my plans with Steve written throughout it. I'm looking forward to starting 2008 fresh, with a positive outlook that it will be a wonderful year.

Last year made me realize how strong I am, showed me how to keep things in perspective and enabled me to be more open-minded. It made me realize that although I am divorced, I'm fortunate for so many other things in my life. Although my life will never be the same, I believe and understand that the future can hold so much more.

I've formed new friendships, met some wonderful people, and learned how to date again. It has made my bond with my parents even stronger than I ever thought possible and it's allowed me to help friends who are going through the beginning stages of what I've been through. It has made me look back on the things I've done and the things that I was willing to accept. I know what I want for my future. It's all much clearer now.

This is the year that my friends and I turn 30. Although I know there are certain things I won't accomplish that I thought I would by the time I turned 30, I know there's plenty of time. I know all my goals will get accomplished. I will get re-married. I will buy a home in the suburbs. I will have children. I will do all the things that I always planned to do. It just will take a bit longer.

Goodbye 2007. I am ready for a new beginning.
