I have to say that 2011 was one of the most challenging and sorrowful years of my life; however, I consider myself to be incredibly lucky and I feel a lot of joy and hope when I look to the future. I think my life is blessed in the following ways:
1. I'm in love with my best friend. He opens my mind and teaches me new things every day.
2. I love my family so much that I willingly hang out with them on a regular and frequent basis; they're more like friends in this way.
3. I love my friends so much that I'd want to do anything for them; they're more like family in this way.
4. I get paid to do something I would happily, giddily, 100% complaint-free do for free.
5. There is an incredible mentor figure in my life who showers me with guidance and kindness and generosity and love.
6. I achieved my #1 goal of graduating from graduate school this year.
7. I achieved my #2 goal of completing a novel this year.
8. I have two living grandparents; the two who've passed away are still very much a part of my life.
9. I have a handle on my student loans, thanks in large part to the generosity of my two grandmothers.
10. I work with people I love. I live with people I love. I hang out with people I love. I have Date Night every Wednesday with someone I love.
11. I think life's too short for bad friends and I don't waste my time and energy on people who suck away mine. I'm surrounded by worthy and inspiring people.
