end of year rant
i ended up not doing one of these last year, so i may be a little rusty at this… i didn’t really have anything big for 2k4, and i didn’t really write anything for 2k5, but something continues to remind me to write one each year at this time…
so what to say about 2k6… all in all, 2006 was a time of growth. and i don’t mean it just for me, but for everyone around me as well…
last saturday we had our annual christmas potluck at kat’s house… well, so it’s not officially annual yet, but i have a feeling we’re getting there. the big focus of the nite: we are professionals. yep, we’ve all gone from the carefree high-schoolers we once were to actual, active members of society. for some reason, it took us all back this year, to think about where we came from and to see where we’ve ended up. it was strange, yet comforting, in a way.
suffice to say, i think it was an important year for all of us… we’ve begun our life achievements, and we continue to struggle and live our lives as adults towards the other big achievements in life: careers, marriages, children, grandchildren, retirement. but for all of us in our mid-twenties, the road just seems so uncertain and scary.
2k6 was by far a year of growth, and i think having reflected on where we came from from last year’s party, we all realized that. i know that for me, there has been much growth: personally, professionally, musically. i hope that for all of us, 2k7 brings us more growth and understanding.
so here’s to a new year with new adventures… may we have the courage to encounter all that befalls us.
