A new year is about to dawn for me in a few hours.
At the end of 32, this is where life finds me:

humbled and blessed.
more in love with my husband than I have ever been before.
appreciating my role as a mother with more patience and love.
possessing a renewed willingness to learn.
newly employed (again).
accepting of the idea that it's okay to say "no" when the opportunity is right.
welcoming both the hardships and prosperity of being a new home-owner.
finding delight in both struggle and sentiment.
in need of spending less, and saving more.
still wanting to get a haircut.
surrounded by wonderful people.
paying less attention to the negative and more to the positive.
hungry for spiritual direction.
enjoying the big and small joys in life, especially random karaoke-esque sing-alongs, and just dance 2014.

last but not least, considering using katy perry's "roar" as my anthem for 33.

It's been quite the journey, 32. Thank you.
