Sylviebead Journal

It's the END of the year!!

This one flew by and that's probably a good thing... it was NOT a good year... a lot of really crappy things happened, but they were just a drop in the bucket when it came down to it because, well, come to think of it, this actually was a pretty good year.

Lets review...

1. I'm SO much happier in my life than I was before for SO many reasons.

2. I've realized I can make beads again... most of the time... as long as I'm not feeling extreme stress.

3. I've started some people on a FANTASTIC creative journey and I feel a lot of pride knowing I'm helping them find their own voices as glass beadmakers.

4. I have had SO much fun with my friends in the past 12 months and I appreciate them more and more every day.

5. I've renewed relationships that were important to me in the past and I'm glad I "re-met" the people and that they're back in my life again.

6. I've added to my circle of friends some GREAT people and I'm glad I met them!!!

7. My relationship with my family is SO much stronger than I ever thought possible. From my sister, to my parents to my kids... I can't IMAGINE having a better family. (though I'm sure some of you will say the same about your families... mine really is THE BEST and I must say it right here publicly)

8. I've really come into my own as an individual. I don't take crap and that's something new for me. There are people in my lives whose opinions I value and I've learned to really censor the people whose opinions don't matter.... for the most part.

9. I'm stronger than I EVER thought I could be and I rock.


I really should come up with a reason 10, so that it's more of a "Top Ten," but I guess I'll stop on the "I rock" note... it's a good finish!

So 2008 wasn't too bad, but 2009... look out!

Happy New Year Friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
