What a year this has been! When I look back over the past 12 months, many things come to mind. Firstly, where did the time go? At first glance it feels like I've been sleepwalking, or like I didn't savor enough, didn't stop to smell the roses, didn't take time to slow down.
Secondly, did I accomplish much this year? At first glance it sure doesn't seem like it, but as I think back I realize just how many wonderful things have manifested into my life. It helps to make lists of life experiences. It helps to recap so we never forget how blessed we are. So, here's to you, 2009. Thank you for testing and strengthening my marriage. Thank you for the ICU job and all the wonderful folks it has brought into my life. Thank you for the trips to the mountains and to Costa Rica, and for the drive up to Pennsylvania. Thank you for the classes and the exams and the transcripts, and the undergraduate degree. Thank you for Abraham, and for Linc. Thank you for making me smarter, stronger, and wiser. Thank you for SALSA. Thank you for new and renewed friendships. Thank you for family. Thank you for my father and my mother. Thank you for guiding my sister. Thank you for music. Thank you!
Tomorrow I work my last 12 hour shift as an ICU tech. It will be bittersweet. I love those people. I never expected that...what a pleasant surprise they have been. I have seen and done more than I could have ever imagined, and I have made lasting friendships that have truly changed my life forever! For this I am extremely appreciative. Next week, I start packing this place up, and the week after that I'm outta here. I am in awe of my life right now. I feel I am exactly where I need to be. All creative components have come together for me, and all that is left to do is be! Be me...be true to myself!
Goodbye, 2009. Hello, and welcome, 2010! It's gonna be fast, fun ride. Bring it on!!
