Birthday Reflections

I always thought 23 would be MY year...the year I figured out life...that I possibly met and fell hard for the man of my dreams...23 was the year I was meant to magnify life and become who I am suppose to be.

As I turn 24 I realized none of this happened. 23 was just another year and, with all that I thought it would hold, a bit of a let down.  Nothing bad happened which I am grateful for, but nothing at all really happened.  I merely existed for another year.  There were definitely good times, but the lack of visible progress has left me feeling stagnant.  

Fortunately, I am now 24!  I may not be any closer to figuring out a career or having a hubby and kids, but I am excited for what this year has in store for me!!!  I know there are big changes that are coming...some really exciting and others that are a bit overwhelming.  In a recent father's blessing, I was told that a decision I made was correct, but that it didn't necessarily mean it would be easy and provide instant happiness.  This year may not be the easiest, smoothest sailing I've ever experienced, but I know that come April 2014 I will have made the most out of this year.  I'm going to live in a way that I can look back and see the progress I've made. I'll be able to say that I am a better version of me because of the choices I've made.  Who knows....I may even get the chance to tell a man I love him :)

The possibilities are limitless!
