green (like the colour)

Last year was a pretty hard year for me for certain reasons (although there were lots of good parts, too) and in comparison, this year seems to be a very positive one for me, although not without its challenges. I like where I'm living and who I'm living with, I like where I'm working, and I'm meeting lots of interesting people, and I feel fed in my spirituality. On the other had, I haven't had as many chances to catch up with some of my older friends and I don't see my family as often as I'd like. My life is quite different to what it was a year ago, and for some reason this makes me think that I should be different, too. But I'm not. I'm very much the same person.

A lot of the great things about this year, all the different things that are also good things, probably wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for some of the lousy things things from last year, things that are still ongoing this year. But if somethings didn't happen the way they happened, I wouldn't be here where I am.

It is something to try and wrap one's head around, but although I could think endlessly on it, I will instead choose to accept things the way they happened, good and bad, and thank God for looking after me.

Also, I was looking through some of my old files on my computer and found this draft of a children's story I started writing once and thought that this would be as good a place as any to share it.
