it was a very good year
So another year comes to an end, and all in all, I will be sad to see 2004 go. It was a pretty fabulous year for me, which brought love, adventure, and new friends into my life.
It was a year of momentous change for many of my friends and family as well. Tina courageously followed her heart to San Diego, and Kate left her torturous job and found peace and domestic bliss with her love on Cape Cod. Jo left her past behind, and embraced a new husband, new baby, and soon, a new home. Alex and Mike married amongst kilts and moose, got pregnant by sneezing, started new freelance careers, and bought their dream condo in Jamaica Plain. Jess and Jay started cooking their little boy a sibling, and Chris and Tonia have their first hatchling in the oven. Kerryn and Tracey finally managed to be in the same place at the same time, and Kim and Andy flung themselves even further abroad. Nic and Ben quit the high life of London for beautiful New Zealand, while Leeann and Blair simply headed off for parts unknown.
For me, this year I learned the truth behind a few old cliches. There is no growth without change. You can’t move forward without leaving stuff behind. And, to paraphrase the stones, you don’t always get what you think you want, but sometimes, when you’re least expecting it, life gives exactly what you need.
peace and love to all in the new year,
jen
