it's 2012... i rang in the new year hanging out with some of my closest friends doing what i love best... drinking coffee, hanging out, being weird, and shooting guns. It was a great weekend... and it helped finish out a long and challenging year..
We decided that spending new years together was forever and always a tradition that every must come to - no matter what... i like that.
Then - today, i got a text finding out that one of my friends got the house they had put in an offer on - it's ridiculously perfect for them... it's fun to see how the Lord blesses people (in strange and easily overlooked sorts of ways)... I'm excited to get to hang out there the next time i travel up north, i'm excited to see them be able to grow as a family in a new space, and i'm excited to see them happy - truly happy.
before 2011 was over i ended up having to have surgery to remove my extremely irritated gallbladder - and the golf ball sized stone that was living inside of it, along with some friends... This was the end of 4 months of severe pain and long nights spent puking without knowing why... i went from having avoided doctors most of my life to visiting them a couple times a month and having all kinds of tests done... it was a great learning experience where i'm sure i grew a lot - but i don't really wanna do it again :)
anyhow - i had a couple weeks where i was stuck in bed recovering and after the drugs wore off and i could think straight again i realized just how much time i spend keeping myself busy by doing pretty much nothing... it was fascinating to me... and yet, didn't really come as that much of a shock once i thought about my surrounding culture. I decided that this year i didn't want to waste time doing nothing - i wanted to do things on purpose, even doing nothing needed to be on purpose. There's so much more i can and will accomplish simply by thinking through my actions (something i don't really like doing much).
So - this year I will be...
HEALTHY
ACTIVE
ABLE
WILLING
PURPOSED
READY
there's a lot more to each of those words than what meets the eye - but we can explore them later... but, i'm ready for a new adventure - even if it means staying exactly where i am. i am ready!
