What a difference a year makes

I'm thinking of the past 12 months! It's been quite a year. By the numbers it goes like this:

10 pounds/zero trips to the gym
One new niece
Three fundraisers
One funeral
Three divorces
One engagement (yay!)
18 art lessons-given
Six concerts-attended
One piercing
One new tattoo
Four new really good friends and many more I'm just getting to know
Two interviews/zero offers (what's up with that!?)
Too many (way too many) hours on myspace!
Three trips to Oregon
Two visits to Tahoe
Three trips to So. Cal. (San Diego, Long Beach, and El Mirage)
One visit to Walla Walla, Washington
25 and irresponsible (the criteria Candi and I have for our next men!)

I've cried more tears this year than I have in 20 years! I've laughed more times this year than I have in 10 years!



Now this is my year in an analogy:

A year ago my life was at a four-way stop. I turned left. I hit a road block. I flipped a u-turn and then proceeded in the same direction I had been going. It's a long road, and the journey has been bumpy at times. I'm not sure where the road leads to yet, but each mile holds a surprise of some kind or another so I'll keep on truckin'! :-)
