Dear 2010

In all reality I should probably have written this blog yesterday, but I was feeling rather lazy and only thought about writing it, and really that may not even be true because as I think now I find that the inspiration for this blog seems to have come from something I read on facebook when I got home at 2 o’clock this morning, but I’m going to write it anyway.

Dear 2010, you were a wonderful year; the life that I lived during you has made me who I am today, that life was filled with more beauty and joy than I can remember and I think you may be my favorite year. What follows is a short list of memories and things that brought much joy to my life in the year 2010… my 2010joy list is as follows

I’m sure if I tried I could make it longer but I am choosing to stop there, last year was beautiful and full of adventure and friendship, but you can’t live life in the past so I am thankful for my year and I keep moving forward, today on January 1, 2011 I make no new years resolutions, I only pray that in this new year God opens my eyes even more, teaches me more of His truth and guides me to newer and even more lovely adventures than I have yet known, that He would be my joy.
