2010

As the final week of this year has come to a close, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about all the things that 2010 has brought.

It has been a year full of ups and downs, highs and lows, endings and new beginnings, challenges and triumphs, disappointments and excitement.

At the start of this year, I had no idea what I had in-store. I can honestly say, it's a year that I will never forget. It has changed me. I have changed: hopefully for the better. I have learned so much from the various experiences that I have had.

I have learned so many lessons including...

1. Life is all about what you make it.

2. When your own plans fall through, try listening for God's plan for you.

3. Personal Revelation is available to all of us.

4. No matter what happens, you still have your FAMILY.

5. Moving out leaves room for lots of lessons to be learned.

6. Judging others is useless. It only hurts you and limits them.

7. The Holy Ghost is one of my best friends and definitely the most reliable.

8. Hard work is the key to success in anything worth while.

9. Obedience brings happiness.

10. Heavenly Father loves me more than I even know.

It has been a great year! I look back on all that has happened this year with gratitude and thankfulness that Heavenly Father has helped me learn so much! Thankfully I don't have to go back and do it all again, but even if I did, I still wouldn't change a thing.

I know that where I am right now is EXACTLY where I am supposed to be. That is a wonderful feeling - one that assures me that I have so much to look forward to in the coming year! I am excited for the lessons I will learn in 2011.

Tomorrow is a new day and a new year.

Happy New Year!
