As the year draws to an end, I tend to reflect a lot this past couple of days. It's a bittersweet feeling but I am looking forward to welcoming the new year. This year I have learned a lot about myself, family, friends and life in general. I am not as depressed as I used to be, compare that to just 3 years ago where I was such a mess. I let my feelings influence my thoughts and actions.
I can honestly say that running regularly and participating in races has contributed to a lot of the positive things in my life. Life is heading towards the right direction at the moment. Yes it has its ups and downs but life is never perfect and I have learned to deal with that and not fight it.

The highlight of 2012 has to be the return of my youngest sister and her family from Austria. We haven't seen them for so long and it was great having everyone in the family gathered together... if only mom and dad were still around... but then again, we didn't let that cloud our days. I haven't laughed and felt so happy surrounded by my family for a very long time.
The other highlight for me is being able to maintain running on a regular basis. Running has definitely saved my life from destruction. *Eye-rolls* Yeah, sounds pretty corny and dramatic... haha. I know but it's the truth. I am eager to close a chapter in my life that deserves a proper ending. Hopefully next year it will all be finalized. Amen. Happy new year everyone. Here's to a great 2013!
