Tuere's blog: "Random Musings"

It’s come to the end of 2009.  Another year is history. It is the time we sit back and take an accounting of how the year has gone. (Yes sounds very critical and serious).

I close the year in a better position then I started the year – emotionally.  YAY! Go me!

I must admit the lows of this year felt really low and the heartache very real, but it was worth it all in the end because I feel stronger.  I was able to let go of those who really didn’t want me and keep close those who not only wanted me; but also helped me through those dark times.

I have found that there are many types of friends that flit through your life.  I have always known that we are meant to meet people for a reason, that there is some lesson to be learned from them or by them.

I learned that loving someone does not mean that they can or will be able to love you back. 

I learned that letting go of the hurt lessens its impact in the long run.

I also learned that unexpected things happen, if you keep positive about them, they work out to your advantage.  Not always the way you THINK it should work out.

I have been blessed with another year in which I have seen my boys grow and some what mature (hey…gotta be honest here)

I thank my friends and family for being there for me when I thought the pain would eat me alive. For sticking by me and making me remember to smile.

My smile is something I have been complimented on (this makes me blush!) but it also means that I am truly happy when it’s a full smile.  Those who have been around me know – I have been smiling a lot more then crying this year – and that’s a great thing.

To all – May your best day in 2009 be your worst day in 2010!

Happy New Year!!
