So as this year of 2011 comes to a close, I will reminisce. I have laughed, cried, jumped up and down, screamed, been disappointed, sang really loud. Most of all, I have enjoyed, been taught, loved, and cared.
Enjoyed each day to its fullest, or seriously tried to. Never really understood what that meant until I got to a point in my life where "endings" were often. Learned a lot about people, how they work & what their intentions are. Loved. Loved the people who are in my life NOW and moved on from the people who aren't. Cared. This is a biggie. Cared and been cared for. This past year truly showed me who cares and who could care less. I care a lot about people and I truly hope it shows. Letting people know when I miss them. Reminding those in my life that I love them. This is what truly matters.
I have met people who have seriously blessed my life for the better. It has been said that in life, you'll only be able to count your true friends on one hand. This has been proven true. So, so true. I've learned to let my haters be my motivators and that I am my own worst enemy. People can only upset you if you let them. Don't let them.
This year, I have learned that my favorite drink is an Arnold Palmer. Mr. Palmer, THANK YOU for combining sweet tea & lemonade together. Pure genius.
Another interesting tidbit for you all to enjoy is that I am looking into the wonderful world of Education. Think about it. Weekends & afternoons free so I am still able to do photography on the side. Free summers (when several weddings happen. Hello?! Perfection. Bingo!) Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be a teacher. I kinda got away from the idea during the years I dreaded school (duh) but now that it isn't so bad after all, I'm really leaning towards the job. WHO KNOWS what will happen & I could completely change my mind but it is a desire of mine. To be able to invest in just a few students lives & really teach them something, academically & personally, that just sounds amazing to me. Oh, and being organized with a cute little classroom sounds fun too.
"So take too many pictures, laugh too much & love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."
I'm really, really looking forward to 2012. I cannot believe this year is already almost here. The year I graduate from highschool. Whaaaaat? Endings left & right but also new beginnings. So excited for what God has in store for my life. He truly is my foundation & my rock. My sustainer and the One who will NEVER disappoint.
Anyways, I'm gonna go watch some recorded episodes of Friends and just sit. We leave for Passion 2012 on Monday. I'll tell y'all more about that one later on. Stay tuned for a lot of awesome.
Love,
Whitney
