As this Year Comes to a Close

As this year comes to a close I have been thinking back and reviewing what has happened in the last 365 days. How does one measure the success of a year? Will any one look back and say, "2012, that was a really good year."? I think I will. This year has brought a lot of things including: stress, anxiety, physical and emotional pain, fear, challenges, tears, hugs, new friends, goodbyes, change, happiness, adventures, hard work, learning, strength, determination, increased faith and a whole lot more.

Who would have thought one year ago today that I would have my mission call, that I would have already done 2 semesters of college and that I would have moved 4 times? I can't say I expected everything that has happened. But I can say I've enjoyed every second of it. I look back on 2012 and smile because it really was a good year. With everything that has happened in the last 365 days I have learned that life is good. Life is really good.

So, I want to say thank you to everyone who played a role in this last year. It doesn't matter how big or small the role you played, I'm grateful that you played it.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
