However, I went to bed with a clear head and woke up refreshed. Apparently I had one of those deep sleeps where you hardly move - my arm was so dead asleep (from me sleeping on my side,) that it took close to 10 minutes just to get the feeling back in it.
With that being said, tomorrow is the final day of the year. I believe I am closing out 2013 fairly strong. I had to make some hard decisions this year, but I am positioned for success and adventure in the coming year.
Sure... there is no telling what's to come in 2014. It's full of hope and dreams, and I am sure I will experience my fair share of heartbreak and loss - why? Because it's life. My job is to weather the storm, dig in deep, and roll with the punches.
I got to thinking about all of the good that happened this year. Not the bad. There was a LOT of good. Though, when I write, I tend to share the bad. lol - It's what I do.
I sort of went back through my year... and here is what I remember (highlight wise) of 2013.
