Life is exquisite.

Part pain, part joy; all parts worthwhile.

When I look back on the year that was, I become even more convinced that life is so much more than the moments that we think will define us.

It’s not about what hits us.  It’s about how we react to the ebbs and flows of this journey.

This year has been an incredible gift.

Moments that have brought me to my knees in weakness.

And others that have made me soar on wings like eagles.

There is more to come; chapters left unwritten.

Moments of joy to be had.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us.

I’m hopeful it’s a new year filled with reminders that this one life is ours to live.
