Reflections~What does the New Year Bring?
The transition from 2006 to 2007...Another year has gone =(
It gave me time to reflect on what has gone on in 2006 in my life and it has been a rollercoaster ride. The feelings that I felt are just endless...there has been both sadness and joy, weddings and funerals. There will always be people who hurt you and those that comfort you during those difficult times. How unfortunate, I am a person who can talk to anyone about anything and not be shy except for how I feel. How ironic!! I do thank you those to my special friends that have sat through my stories, been up til 2am to comfort me to tell me everything is ok, or prayed with me when I've been down. No matter what mask I put on, you saw right through me. You saw the pain behind the mask and you cared enough to help me get through those times...I can be stubborn but you tell me the truth, you don't sugarcoat anything and you give me the advice and scripture that I seek. You people know who you are when you read this blog entry.
A close friend of mine recently shared with me that I am always "cheery", is that true? I always have a big smile and turn any situation no matter how doom and gloom around into something positive. I'm thankful for this encouragement. Often, I am reminded that life is short, what's happened is in the past, you can't change it...you can't worry about the future because you can't see it...only live today to its fullest. At times, I think it's the people you're surrounded by that brings out the my best characteristics/best features. The people you hang around with are the ones that will help you develop/mold/shape your character.
I hope this year brings much more happiness, the passion to outreach to my friends, grow closer to God, grow closer to those that I care about.
More to come but time to sleep...3am.
