And Counting...

i started off this year believing that great things were in store. for the first time since my 18th birthday, i had a low key, intimate new years celebration with one the the persons i love most in this world. i told her that evening as we waited for the ball to drop, "this moment is a foretaste of a year great to come." with only 1.5 months to go, my prediction proved correct...at least for me.

i know that this year saw hurricanes, deaths, fires, tornadoes, and a global financial crash, but examining the little thing in which we have control, this year has been like none other.

let me of course start by stating the obvious: We,I, elected the first black president of the US.

I graduated for AU with an MPA
I learned much about men and boys
My relationship with God has increased enormously
I'm 90% financially independent
I am living in one of the greatest cities in the US
I have found a church home, in which i'm active
I'm in my early 20s not 30's and should act accordingly
For 9 months i was living single with NO roommate and survived
I'm gradually learning what love is
I have joy
i finally know what i want to be when i grow up
I made some really awesome new friends; love you ladies

and now as i count down the hours til my 25th birthday, i am grateful and happy for the years gone by and the opportunity to see another year of life. i will continue to take charge over the thing which i can control and savor every moment.

i was speaking with yinka last week about how the twenty-somethings should be called the twenty-sucking, now i think i may have spoken prematurely. the best times are still to come.
