2008, The year I had to grow up…

Another year has come and gone.  2008 was probably the most eventful year of my life.  So many things happened to me.  Big “grown up” things that I have never had to deal with before.  Some of them were wonderful things, others were terribly painful. 

I learned that life is precious at any age, and only God knows when our last day will be. 

I learned that those closest to me can hurt me deeper than anyone.

I learned that forgivness is healing.

I was reminded just how wonderful my friends are.

I learned that no person or institution is immune to disaster.

I saw good people lose their jobs.

I felt blessed that I didn’t lose mine.

I witnessed a miracle and I held him in my arms.

I witnessed the joy of granparenthood.

I saw that through all the good and the bad God is in control.  He always has been and he always will be.

Happy new year!
