Looking Back

Another year come and gone.

It's funny how quickly the last year has passed. As I look back on the past year, it doesn't seem like it has been that much time at all. I can clearly remember the things I was doing a year ago on certain dates and where I was, how I was feeling, the people I was with, and what I thought the future held. I remember certain activities on certain days, 4th of July, my birthday, Halloween, but as the anniversaries of these days pass, it doesn't seem like a year has gone by, perhaps only a couple months. Time does go faster the older I get.

As the time passes and the years keep adding themselves to my life, sometimes I feel like I am going nowhere fast. If you would have asked me 5 years ago, or even a year ago where I thought I would be right now, I wouldn't have said here. Plans have a way of not coming to fruition.

"Man makes plans and God laughs"

This year ahead is a year of change. New Beginnings, hopefully new people and new things to fill my time with. As I look back on my last year, it has been full of good things, but also disappointment. Hopefully when I reach next year, and look back on this year, it will be a year that helped to shape me for the better; I hope every year after this is one that I can look back upon fondly and see that it helped me to get where I needed to go.

Where will I be in a year?

Where will you be in a year?
