I spent a lot of time this weekend reflecting on the past year. I would sum it up as a year of challenges -- some good, some bad. But ultimately, I learned more about myself and what I was capable of in the last 12 months than at any other point I can remember.
I spent 5 weeks this year exploring London, Paris and the south of France. I learned how to bake ..a little. I explored my local farmer's market, reconnected to the food I eat, got to be a prettyyy good cook (in my humble opinion) and feel healthier than ever in the process. I had many opportunities to learn and grow at work. I learned to love the stairmaster. I got to meet so many new and exciting friends, and finally, mercifully, mastered the Sunday laundry/cleaning routine.
A lot of things on the list above are things I want to keep doing, but a few will be new endeavors. So if 2010 was a year of challenges, I hope 2011 will be a year of exploration and wonder -- living in the present and feeling grateful for all of the beauty around me.
I wish the same for you...
