New Years Eve Reflections: Over the last year, did things go pretty much as you'd expected or planned, or did your life take a significant, unexpected turn? Overall, was it a good year or one that you want to put behind you as fast as you can?
I really...don't know.
Yes and no is the answer, of course, even though it can't be. I think I can't chose, perhaps, because I'm afraid I might be wrong. There's no shame in that, of course, but no one wants to look foolish.
I've never before seen changes as unexpected (I welcome change and new ideas, while still respecting that the things that remain, remain because they work. Tradition is valid and wonderful.), because unexpected seems so negative. But I can't deny that things did not go my way. But it wasn't exactly my way. And the plans weren't what you could call 'mine', although I believed in them. Do we ever truly put anything behind us? Surely not by running. Be resolution only; otherwise how can we learn?
I feel I can say I really grew as a...as me, this year, but if I'm honest I can't quite say I've come into my own. But I believe I'm on my way.
As always I resolve to meet new people in the coming year, and to continue to devote myself fully to my work.
