What a Difference Time Makes

I looked back today at where my life was just 4 years ago.  I read my journal and went through my blog archives, and I was astonished!  Never in my wildest dreams (or nightmares) could I have ever imagined where I would end up.  The future is simply not predicable, I'm telling you.  You may have plans, but they just don't turn out *exactly* how you think they will, sometimes they turn out better and sometimes not, but in the end, they turn out just as they were supposed to.

I was severely struggling in my life; my marriage had ended; my dad had passed away and I was feeling lost and confused and walking around in circles.  Amazingly enough, I was trying to be positive about life and throwing my humor and sarcasm around to survive it, but I really lacked direction.  I got it together, though, and made some major changes, and I am such a different person now.  I'm still a little sarcastic, but in a much different mindset.  I feel like I have almost lived an entire life in 7 short years.  A big event was about to happen, my promotion and the move to California, which set so many things in motion that I was unaware of.
