Every year, I learn more. I learn more about myself. I learn more about others. I learn more about this crazy journey of life that we are all coasting through and trying to figure out. And this year was no exception. This year, I’ve learned that life is full of surprises, some big, some small, and some of the best which happen when you least expect them. I’ve learned that you should always begin each day with love in your heart. With a start like that, every day is bound to be better than the last. I’ve learned that nothing is more important than family; the family you are born into, the family you are married into (332 days :)) and even friends who feel like family. You should cherish them all. I’ve learned that change, albeit frightening, can make you stronger. I’ve learned that distance is only a number, whether thirty miles or three hundred – and that love has no boundaries. Three hundred and sixty five days, and not one without heart bursting love.
 
Welcome, 33. It’s going to be a great year.
