Goodbye, 2014.

You were kind to me but not without some ups and downs. We weathered them together and I feel stronger having gotten through them. You gave me lessons in patience, discipline, compassion, organization and confidence, although often I didn’t want to learn. We celebrated accomplishments together but other times you held me as I cried and I knew that the sadness would pass, just as time does. Thank you for all you taught me and I’m thankful for having the opportunity to meet 2015 with open arms and excited to see all she has in store for me.
