Last weekend, I went to dinner and drinks with a dear friend. We had become quite close before I moved to AZ, kind of lost contact while I was in AZ (as I did with a lot of my friends-which speaks to my state of mind ) and have been trying unsuccessfully to get together since I've been back. To say she's had a difficult year is putting it mildly. It's not my story to tell, but this woman has faced some insane hardships, and she remains positive. Her faith has been tested. Yet she holds on to her beliefs. I am truly humbled by her story. Yes, 2012 was a challenging year for me, but I know things could have been worse.
So there will be no reflection on 2012 for me. I know that, without a doubt, everything happens for a reason. God doesn't close one door without opening another. I am exactly where I belong at this point in my life. I have so much to look forward to in 2013. So many things to learn. So much life to live. So much hope to be had. And so far, it's off to an amazing start!
Just because I feel like a post isn't complete without a photo... Here's some of my favorite Instagram photos from 2012.
