After almost two weeks of enjoying the new year I am finally ready to reflect and share my thoughts on 2013. Although, I am not one to make New Year Resolutions I can say that this past year was been especially enlightening; I have learned a great deal about myself, my family and my friends. This was my first year in the "real world"-- no more teachers, no more books--- and I continually wrestled with the question, "What next?".
In 2013 my best friend and I traveled to Spain and Italy for a month to embrace a new culture, taste the food, smell the air and attempt to capture the essence of Europe. I meditated. Reflected. Rebooted. I embraced my own doubts, fears and reservations. And in the end, I came to the conclusion that life is a series of paths all leading in different directions and no one path is "right" as long as I enjoy the journey and follow my happiness I will feel fulfilled. Finally, I have found peace and excitement in the unknown.
Looking back on 2013 makes me smile at the great memories and motivates me to get past the ones I'd like to forget. I have no idea what 2014 has in store for me, but I am ready for my next adventure! It may be two weeks late, but nonetheless....Happy New Year!
Cheers to the New Year!
