Ch-ch-ch-changes

Today has been a day of reflection.  It seems I've been doing that a lot lately.

As I sit in my room, looking out to the city lights, it has occurred to me that this weekend marks the 'month-iversary' of my living in Kansas City.  What a change this has been; moving from a small town into the city, living with a best friend who is going through the challenge that is med school, trying to figure out who I am and what I'm doing.

While these are a lot of changes, I have to say most of my reflection has been on the changes that have happened inside me during this past year.  It is no secret to you all that this has been the hardest year of my life, and I cannot help but feel I have been weakened.  More than ever before, these hardships have left me feeling weary and more than a little lost.  While I stumble through, trying to put pieces back together, I still look for the positive that must come, hoping for strength in this weakness. 

I am hoping that this new city can bring with it healing and renewal; a chance to start again.
