It's good to spend time with some good friends, cherishing your past year and the growth of new friendships. It's also good to spend New Year's Eve in the safety and warmth of your home. This year, we had our good friends over to eat, play games, watch movies, and do crafts. I'd say tonight was full of great memories.
Once again, it has been fun, interesting, entertaining, eye-opening, and at times stressful, trying to keep up with my "picture-a-day." And, once again, I can look back at each entry and have multiple memories. This year has been extra special because of how all my wonderful friends and family helped me celebrate my 40th year.
As always, there are highs and lows, good memories and bad ones. With each memory comes emotions. And those emotions make you feel alive. I'll take the good with the bad (and the ugly) because that is where you grow and learn....and most importantly, hopefully, gain wisdom.
At the ripe old age of 40, I sure could use that!
