in some ways, not much happened this year. In others, everything did. I didn't think I'd grow too much this year, but I think I grew more than I thought I would. I took a big step and adopted Dottie, my little boxer Boston terrier mutt and am so glad I did. She's brought so much happiness and fun and adventure into my life this year. And she's a little space heater when she curls up under the blankets. She is most definitely spoiled and many refer to her as my kid. She basically is. From adopting a dog to traveling home for weddings and minor family things to growing as manager to managing time between work and play to relationships with friends on different levels to opening up and realizing there was nothing to fear to trusting a little more but learning not to trust too much to friendships falling apart and friendships falling together to working on myself to going to my first boxing class to surviving. This year has not been the best overall, but it has had some pretty damn good moments. Weddings, adventures, respinsibilities, tough but necessary conversations, big decisions, buying my first queen size mattress. It's the good moments to hold onto. Family, friends. Taking the opportunity when you get it. Accepting defeat and moving on. Accepting mistakes and letting go. Making decisions, not just on impulse.
2016, you've been a roller coaster year, and I guess I wouldn't have it any other way.
