Life Extraordinary

Looking back on one year of life can be both captivating and daunting.

Is another year really over?  It flew by,  faster than I had expected.  I think life is better now.  Life is easier,  happier,  I am wiser, and in a better place.  Those are the thoughts I always hope and aim to have looking down the barrel of a new year. 

Goals and aspirations are set.  Some goals are grand, while others are easily achievable.
"How did I get here?"  I ponder to myself.  My life has had a myriad of life forks,  twists and turns some forseeable, while others jumped in front of my otherwise stable life.  Making good, sound decisions, in the wake of living, is all I can truly account for my current life as I sit here writing these words.

As I carefully wrap Christmas ornaments and place them away in their special space,  I know next year will be very different.  We will be different.  Our lives will have once again changed for the better.  Although,  I forsee myself living in the same home,  my family may not be home for the holidays.  Life around me will be different.  Vacations will have been taken.  School will have shifted grades,  people will come in and out of our lives.  Life will be somewhat the same,  yet somewhat changed.
 
If we are not constantly striving for positive change than what is the point of living a fullfilling life? -LN

This year,  I will be better.  Happier,  sweeter,  kinder,  more loving. 

This year I will teach and be taught.  I will work smarter, live with more confidence, be creative with laughter and a light heart.

Next year, at this time,  I will look back with satisfaction and look forward with hope. 



Life is most interesting when seen from multiple perspectives. -LN
