review

It seems like a completely different vantage point,

and yet it's really not.

This time last year I was contemplating

throwing caution to the wind.

I was going to throw away my plans.

I was so dissapointed in how

they had turned out so far.

I came so very close- I was so torn.

It was an unstable time for me,

and yet looking back I feel

I was resilient even still.

There are some similarities,

between the start of last and this.

But ultimately I have a changed outlook,

one that took form gradually.

I am no longer disappointed.

That I really cannot be.

No, I now know what to expect

and like it or not, it is.

I can choose to review, over and over

or I can continue forward.

I have chosen forward before today

and it will remain that way.

I am excited about what this will bring.

Yes, adventure likely ensues.

I do not deny that there will be

potential for further unmet expectations.

I also do not overlook what one lacks

when she does not start a journey.

So here is to the new

and a continuation of the last.
