I don't think I've ever been so ready for a fresh new year to begin. I have been making a mental list of all of the things I want to accomplish in 2011. I've really never been one to make New Years resolutions because I know that once the hype of the season is gone, usually the resolutions are quickly forgotten. I do however have many things in my life that I want to accomplish and change, so I am taking the opportunity of this fresh new year ahead to work towards them.
This year has been a great year in so many ways, yet it has also been one of the worst and most stressful years to date. I have been dealing with several health issues since August that I haven't talked about here yet. The entire ordeal stressed me out so badly that I didn't know how much more I could handle. This was all, of course, on top of still trying to find a job and being unemployed for so long that my unemployment benefits are coming to an end within the next six weeks. There is so much more to this situation and maybe I will talk more about it here soon, but over the past few weeks I have realized more than ever that I need to leave this all in Gods hands because he is in control. Worrying has never and will never helped a thing, so I have let it all go and I believe that God will see me through each and every thing I am up against.
I have decided to focus instead on the good things that have happened this past year. I have continued to learn about photography and actually saw one of my dreams come to life when I had my both my first photo shoot and my first wedding last May. That was a goal that I wrote down over a year ago and sometimes I can't believe that it actually happened. Which reminds me, I am so behind on posting photos from other shoots I've done - it's officially on my to-do list :) I've always been the type of person who has good plans and good intentions, but rarely do I follow through on them when it comes to doing things for myself (when I make a commitment to others, I always keep my word). So, I am proud that becoming a photographer is one goal that I have accomplished this year.
I will be putting together a post this weekend highlighting some of my favorite photos of 2010. I wish you all a safe, healthy, and happy New Year! Thanks for sticking with me this year!
