December 14 – Appreciate

What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it? (Author: Victoria Klein)

I was actually sort of formulating this kind of post in my head yesterday. Mostly in list form as I do love the lists and not exactly a specific thing, but more a list of everything wonderful I participated in in 2010. And thinking about these accomplishments, I guess what I am most grateful for is the time I have in my life to go and do the things I want to do, when I want to do them.

This year I appreciate that I had time to take snowboarding lessons, meet some great new friends and learn a skill that I want to continue cultivating

This year I appreciate that I had time to put towards helping my friend pull off her dream wedding

This year I appreciate that I had time for bike rides, rock hunting adventures, road trips, fire works, board games, slurpees, and shared bottles of wine

This year I appreciate that I had time to visit Newfoundland, hang out with one of my favorite people while exploring the most beautiful place ever -- and checking out the Atlantic Ocean

This year I appreciate that I had time to reflect back on all decisions I made that have led me to where I am now and the time to just be with myself while I learn to forgive myself for wasting time previously

This year I appreciate that I am in a place where I have more time to continue doing the things I love to do, the things I need to do, and the things I want to do

As of January 1, 2011 I will be making this blog private. If you would like to be on the reading list, please email me at arualthebutterfly[at]gmail[dot]com

It is nice to look back on things and realize what is really good, isn't it?
