And another one bites the dust….year, I mean! We are just ours away from 2017 and I must say this past 364 days have been a roller coaster. From unexpected deaths that parted too soon, to an election race many would hope never happened, this year was, to say the least, very memorable.
As for me — it was unforgettable as well. I got engaged to an amazing man, continued to write rather frequently, and I went on the trip of a lifetime to my home country. Indeed, I will cherish 2016 forever. Other milestones that took place this year include seeing my best friend get married and have a baby (two days ago) and nurturing incredible friendships.
My family also played a pivotal part. I celebrated my grandmother’s 83rd birthday in New York with incredible with my aunts, sister, grandfather and cousins. We also celebrated my aunt’s wedding with a beautiful ceremony in Disney World, and my nephew came to this world. These are the moments that I live for.
I have a feeling 2017 will be another one for the books, and I look forward to it. Though every year brings some challenges and adversities, it is all about prevailing, learning, and moving forward. As they say, as the years go by, the wisdom grows.
Happy New Years my friends!
