farewell 2009

As 2009 comes to a close its normal to reflect and think back to the past year.
To think of my goals I made at the beginning of the year.
To see what I have accomplished.
{I did not complete it all}
{but} I feel as though much has changed.
More so on an emotional {I’m changing} basis.

-In developing a crush I learned that my heart was healed and I was ready to fall for someone again.
-a friendship was broken. But I learned so much about myself. I learned how independent I am. I learned to not allow people to treat me like dirt. I learned to not let people take advantage of me. I learned I am stronger than I think I am.
-I realized what having true friends really means and I realized how it feels to have them in my life.
-I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone. Challenged myself to new things.
-Gained new friends while strengthening the friendships I have.
-I have seen my confidence grow.
-and I am learning to Love me! {which needs to happen first, before I can truly love someone else}

Other things happened as well…
-I went to California for the first time. And attended an Ellen taping.
-I graduated with my BS in Psychology.
-I also graduated from Institute.
-{and on the way to said graduation} I was in my first {full-on} car accident. Which resulted in getting a new car.
-Learned that I love to throw parties/showers for friends.
-I also learned I love to bake and cook. {As you have seen on Oh Snaps}

As I look back on this year, some of it seems so far away while at the same time speeding by. {Does that make sense?}

How do you feel looking back on 2009? Did you accomplish what you wanted to?

...up next…my thoughts on 2010!
