When December hits, I brace myself. I'm a sucker for laugh, movie nights, sweets, smiles, hot cocoa, twinkling light and fireplaces. Holidays, Parties, birthdays, they all come rushing at me and if i don't focus, end up a little dizzy and way out of sorts by the time January hits.
December's ability to pass by at the speed of light breaks my heart every time because they are my favorite lovely months of the year.
I think the reason why i love the holidays so much is because they are a time to celebrate the love that is all around you.
This year was all about growth, change and yes, it was a bit of struggle in life but i pushed through.
friends came , and now some are gone, and while it is always disappointing to say goodbye to people in your life who used to care about.
I am such a lucky girl to have the most amazing friends who can make me laugh and offer comfort when i just want to cry , encounter obstacles and give up. They remind me of the person i was, and show me how to be a better person than i am now.
I'm truly grateful for the friends that i have made with. I found a great friends who are just so sweet , caring, unselfish and REAL. Without them , it would be an awfully lonely place.
Don't you feel that this time of the year bring reflection about the year? How have you spent your year?
