That's how you measure...measure a year....

It's crazy how fast a year flies by. I'm sitting here today, in the midst of what's supposed to be "the worst storm in decades" and admiring the sunny yellow trees outside my window, pondering life. Over the last year, I've grown up, been childish, selfish, self-deprecating, a best friend, a bad friend, a singer, a dancer, and always myself. The funny thing is, there are so many things I'm still figuring out about what it takes to BE myself. I got a dog, and it was THE BEST decision I could have made for myself. He takes the lonely out of living alone, and keeps a smile on my face almost every day - he snorts, snores, farts, burps, throws up and doesn't listen, but he's my best little friend in the world. I suppose I shouldn't expect anything less from a Boston Terrier anyway.
So much has changed, but so much has stayed the same. I've made new friends this year, and branched out on my own - Volunteering for ArtPrize and checking out things I've always wanted to do or see. I took my first "on my own" trip to Boston over Memorial Day, and learned how much I really can rely on myself. Hopefully I'll start remembering that I have a blog and update it more often - and hopefully my life will continue to climb at an upward angle so that I have exciting things to post about.
