It has been many years since I could say with certainty that I've had a good year. With that said, 2014 was a mixed bag. At the start, regularity made everyday life comfortable and with minimal worry. For reasons beyond my control, change was forced upon me. I knew that I should have made a stand sooner, but sometimes we need that push to really put things into perspective. My priorities were another matter. I made choices on my own to liberate myself and change. Through patience and good fortune, I was able to further realize my hopes in life. It wasn't perfect, but it was an excellent starting point.
Now more than ever, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Our actions are meaningful in that they open up more opportunities and possibilities as each day passes. I now have the best job I've ever had, my mind is much more relaxed, I'm getting my foot in another door, and I've met someone I love who is most certainly the one for me. Life is good.
There is no such thing as a perfect year, but there are certain stretches of 12 months that make us say, "This has been a damn good year." 2014, you've been kind to me. Thank you.
