I am thankful for the lessons I have learned this year and I am thankful that I have started to actually stand up for the person I know I can be.
I am thankful that I have reached out to old friends and have stregthen my bonds with them.
I am thankful for aquiantences that have become some of the best friends I think I will ever have.
I am thankful that I have disassociated myself with people who have brought me down emotionally, mentally, and physically.
2008 has brought closure to certain chapters in my life and has opened new pages of my book. Of course this hasn't happened over night or over the course of this year. I have found myself reverting back and repeating mistakes, but this is a learning and healing process. I am thankful for allowing myself to move forward and not get wrapped up in the past.
