I took a couple of weeks off over the Christmas holiday, and I am just now reflecting on 2011. Just thought I'd post some thoughts on here to get started blogging for 2012.
Moving to Kentucky has resulted in a completely different life. It sounds so simple, but as I reflect on it the change seems massive. If I had fallen asleep in 2010 and woken up in 2011, it would be like waking up in someone else's body, living a completely different life.
Every day looks different now than it did last year. I see different people regularly. I live in the country with 5 acres instead of the city with 0.1 acres. I have a giant dog who requires 2 walks every day regardless of the temperature outside now. I have a pregnant wife now. I'm commuting 2 total hours a day instead of 20 minutes. I'm actively pursuing a career in wine making now on the weekends. Every day looks completely different than it did the year before.
As far as personal growth, it has been mixed. I'd say that spiritually I did not grow in 2011 much. Mentally, I grew exponentially. Emotionally, I was disconnected and drained because I was away from all of my friends in Colorado. Physically, I have stayed extremely healthy.
I do look forward to 2012, but I have no expectations really. I feel very humble. I don't deserve anything or expect anything, I am simply grateful for the people in my life, and I hope that God has favor on me and is proud of me.
