This New Year's Eve has me in a state of reflection. How original, I know. But the end of a decade is something different. We now have a time capsule, a measurable little (huge) package with a beginning and an end... and as that end is hours away, it's difficult not to want to tie it in a neat little bow.

This decade brought the end of a significant relationship, the beginning of a new one. Moved to Arizona... and back. Married in Hawaii! Bliss... a new amazing job where I have met some of my best friends. Bought a house! Yoga. Most of my close friends children were born. My niece and nephew too. Major secrets and dishonesty uncovered, destruction of marriage began. Renewal, recovery, second chances. A baby boy!!! Trained and completed an olympic triathlon. Learned how to wakeboard. Lost a house... New job, reconnection with old friends, loss of the marriage. New beginnings. Crossfit! My boy is learning to read... Death of a beloved aunt, uncle, and close friend. And here we are.

I'm at a loss for words. 10 years... how much changes. The good, the bad, the ugly. It has been painful, challenging, heartwrenching, amazing, stunning, beautiful, terrible, horrific, loving, quiet, chaotic... okay, throw any word and its opposite in, and you get the point. Wouldn't change a thing. Here's to another decade of high peaks, low valleys, and hopefully... peaceful and happy mediums.
