Year at a Glance

I've officially lived in Chicago for over a year now. Last year at this time I was counting down the days until I could move back home, closer to my family. I promised my Mom that I would give it a full year. I look back now, and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. 

A year ago, I never thought I would have recovered from my breakup. A year of healing and staying single did me good.

A year ago, I thought I would be in school getting my engineering degree. A year of thinking made me realize that I was in it for the wrong reasons.

A year ago, I wouldn't pick up a pen to write anything. A year spent writing in notebooks got me back into doing what I love.

A year ago, I would lose my keys on a monthly basis. A year of staying present has allowed me to focus on the moment. I haven't lost a set yet.

A year ago, I was still holding out hope that it would still work out with him. A year without him made me happy it didn't.

A year ago, I would have been devastated by nearly anything. A year of re-reading "Nothing Special" has taught me some powerful lessons in happiness and peace. 

A year ago, I was fearful of the future. A year of just being, helped me to realize there is no future, just what's occurring now.

A year ago, I would become attached to anything and everyone. A year of losses, taught me that no one stays in your life forever and it's ok when someone leaves.

A year ago, I thought you had to work overtime to be happy. A year of loving life made me realize how simple it is to be content and I often wonder why others can't see this.

A year ago, I had dreams of being highly successful. A year of working in a cut-throat industry  allowed me to see that it's not everything.

What am I hoping for or to accomplish this year? Being completely fearless in life.
