The Year of More

I guess the fact that yet another year has almost entirely slipped through my fingers is making me a bit contemplative. I suppose many people begin evaluating their lives during this time. I look back on this year and I see many things I wish I could erase. Instances of embarrassment, heartbreak, anger and depression would be the first to go.

However, this is one of the first years I can remember where I can look back and be mostly pleased. I had what I am labeling as a "The Year of More". I spent more time with God. I volunteered my time more. I traveled more. I talked to my friends more. I loved more. I let go of a bit more anger. I saw the world and people more like God sees them. I've learned to like the way God made me tick a bit more. I've laughed more. I've also learned that more isn't always better. I've let go of my own apartment and living space to rent a small bedroom from friends. And in doing so I think I have found more freedom.

What are my plans for next year? More of the same. Travel, love, laugh, talk, live, give, let go, embrace. What kind of year are you planning?
