it's hard to know how to describe 2010.....it was a year of beginnings and endings and I'd describe it all as bittersweet........
words cannot describe how lucky i feel to have an amazingly loving, supportive, and handsome man in my life. we were able to celebrate our 1st year together in october in paso. life is so simple, sweet, fulfilling, and adventurous these days. i feel truly blessed to be so happily situated in my 31st year :) i'm excited for the trips and adventures we have planned in the upcoming year and for what the future in general holds for us.
obviously, there were some events this year that kept it rocky though not entirely horrific. there are memories that we wish could fade faster than they will and memories we'll wish we could have that will now never happen. for that our lives will forever be altered though we'll continue to live our lives as though we're still being provided a little guidance along the way.
the message that speaks to me most this time of year is surprisingly my own from two years ago. with a little adaptation, it still passes for life and my thoughts today.
****************************************************
it's the year's end and inspiration for reflection is all around. how do we make sense of the chaos of daily life? how do we find purpose in the small things, humor in the most unlikely of places, and the determination to make it through daily living without complete collapse or insanity?
we look for solace in relationships with others and through that within ourselves. but what happens when that person is no longer there? what happens when the shoulder you turned to is no where to be found? we're amazing creatures who change and adapt with our surroundings yet never seem to be able to get past what could have been or what massive undertakings are upcoming. so the question is, can you accept what has been and use it to create better things in the future? is that the dream or just a way to survive the passing days?
such questions and thoughts swirl through my brain and i answer some and leave others to ponder for another day. in the end, i know i choose to live life to the fullest i see fit and what works for me may not work for you. i hope that those who i love know it even if i don't say the words often enough. those who are no longer with me are always in my thoughts and the impact they've left will not be forgotten. this time of year is about love and hope......keep those things in your heart the whole year through and the days are more than bearable.....they're actually enjoyable.

A little message for the year's end from Ryan........
Dear 2010: Your services are no longer required and we respectfully ask that you vacate the premises by the end of the day. Do not expect references. Thanks.
