a decade of change

This new year it is amazing to think about it being the turn of another decade. The new millenium or 00's (what do we call it anyway?) was really a time of change. When I think back of how quickly it all went down, 9/11, texting, a new president, GpS, Wii fit....all the things that change the way we live. Somethings changed the world and how we live in it. Without negativity, it does feel like a more cautious world than ever before. We were all more nieve in the 90's and children in the 80's.
And in my own life major transformations made me who I am today. In this decade I started out with a bold move to Orlando to follow my dream of a career as a massage therapist. I broke away from a path that did not make me happy. The future was promising and career stable, but I knew deep within that there was something else, somewhere else (and very likely someone else) This move led me to the place where I met the man I would marry. And like me, he found himself living in this city where he was led by some twist of fate. I learned so much from him, and that I could only be happy if we built our life together. He is an amazing spirit that has not only made me want to be the best I can be, he's made me believe in myself and any dream is possible.
this whole millenium may have started rough, I have lost parts of myself but found new ones. People have come and gone. Loved ones have passed, but the most painful years have produced a new skin. The capacity to survive has expanded boundaries and continues to.
