Another Chapter Ends

I just finished another journal. I think this one is #7 or so. This journal took me from August 27, 2007 to September 21, 2008. I love it when I close up a chapter of my life. I never go back to read my previous entries until I hit the last page. And even then, I only read the first page or so. The beginning of my first entry reads like this. "As I left my last journal, I was in the cut of the most challenging times of my life. I can still say that I'm in a challenged position but maybe not as dramatic. I'm a little more grounded, a little more at peace." Well, at peace I am. This last year has been full of decisions. Very hard decisions. All of which have turned out very well. All of which have provided me with a great deal of peace. Within the last pages of this journal, I promised myself to have a little more fun. Now that I know who I am and what my purpose is in life, I'm looking forward to being a little more free. I'm looking forward to being a great ball of joy. I promised myself to smile a lot. To take in the beauty of randomness. And to not take for granted the little things. I'm going to do the things that make me happy and truly live life. So raise your glass with me to the next chapter! Cheers!
