Two Thousand Ten!
2010!
How did this happen? Weren't we just preparing for Y2K a few months ago? Has the Earth really rotated around the sun 10 times already? Are we already one decade into the "new" millennium?
I've reflected on the past ten years several times over the past few days and I'm not gonna lie...this has been a challenging and often difficult 10 years. I became a widow, made a move, went back to school, entered the work force, faced unemployment, lost a lot of money in the stock market, experienced terrorist attacks on the US, and watched my children struggle with difficult things.
These experiences have shaped and molded my life and have had a profound effect on who I have become. What have I learned through it all?
1. I can do hard things
2. To have greater faith and trust in my Heavenly Father
3. That there is much growth in challenges
Even so, I'm ready for a break. I'm hoping that 2010 brings much joy and happiness.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
