As I drove home fro...I don't really even know. As I drove home from Greensboro yesterday after a week with 985 college students, all I could think about was that my life has been the same for years. Same. Do I want "same"? Do I have regrets for not taking wild adventures? Crazy thing is, I travel a lot. I was away from home more than 1/3 of 2015 and it was just plain exhausting. Shoot, I just got all teary as I typed that. So, I'm in a place of "same" but weary from moving. I don't know how those two co-exist but they do.<br />I don't really even know what to hope for in 2016. <br />Hm, I might have just written a blog post in your comment section....kristinwithanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920941692431796535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-16538387132969378412015-12-31T14:34:27.505-05:002015-12-31T14:34:27.505-05:00Yes, 2015 has been a year of upheaval. I think we...Yes, 2015 has been a year of upheaval. I think we all (or most anyway) start blogs because we want to share all the happy and fun stuff, and deciding to share more personal things makes us feel rather vulnerable. I do believe, though, that it's through that vulnerability that we go beyond just being "blog friends," to being "Friends" and sharing a bond. I truly believe these last five months would have been much more difficult for me had it not been for my wonderful "Friends" in blogland. I am very grateful to have you as a "Friend," Richella.<br /><br />Warm hugs and wishes for a very Happy New Year!<br />CarolAn Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-79453644363789709022015-12-31T09:42:36.891-05:002015-12-31T09:42:36.891-05:00Whew!

Usually on my blog it's all about pretty and fun but sometimes it's nice to read the behind the scenes stories from bloggers. All the best in 2016 to you and your family!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664149979147822681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-7593616230424537372015-12-29T17:44:16.027-05:002015-12-29T17:44:16.027-05:00Huge changes and they are all life changing events...Huge changes and they are all life changing events for everyone.
