2005
"People are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
Those words were said to me in 1999. I remember who said them and when. At the time, I nodded in agreement. But lately I'vee been thinking more about that silly phrase. It really is true.
This year has been a big one for me in terms of change. For someone who values stability, this has definitely been a year filled with instability and adjustment. The rug had been pulled out from under me...Love, Work, Health...I don't think there was a part of my life that wasn't tossed around this year. But I regained my balance. I ended up happier and healthier than before everything was shifted.
"People are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
Its ok that Love walked out of my life unexpectedly. I can't say I wasn't sad. But, there was a reason it was there and I learned so very much not only about myself but also about the city I call home as well as a different way of thinking and looking at the world. I miss Love but I will always appreciate the time I had.
"People are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
Yeah, Evil One (EO) was amazingly difficult to deal with. But EO taught me that I deserve to have only the best people surround me. Pettiness, insecurity and jealous are such a waste of time.
"People are in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
The brush fires took homes away from some and breath away from me. Seriously, the world looks very different from behind a dust mask. But, from that inability to breathe, I acquired this amazing group of people who genuinely care about me.
Its been a tough year. But I've learned so very much. I end this year overwhelmed by the kindness that's been bestowed upon me. I think that, more than any sadness I've experienced, is what I'll remember most.
2005 was a kind year.
