For me the experiences of 2013 can only be described as the most outrageous roller coaster ride you could ever imagine yourself going on. The kind that takes your breath away at times and the kind that brings you to tears at some of the turns and then when it is over you left smiling the biggest smile ever thinking - "WHAT A RIDE!"
So much has happened in my 2013. I lost my beloved Great Grandfather Ken. I had the honour of being bridesmaid at my beautiful friend Catherine's wedding. I properly settled into my new job. I placed 2nd in a 12 week transformation challenge and entered my second Bikini Fitness Comp. I dealt with major heartache more times in one year that I care to mention. I made some really hard decisions and at times I had to learn the hard way. I said ‘hello’. I said ‘goodbye’. I 'let go'. I met 'the man of any girls dreams'. I laughed and I cried. I was accepted to study a Marketing Degree. The list goes on...I suppose like most, my year has been full of highs and some really low, lows.
Through it all, I can’t help but sit back and feel confident that 2013 will forever be remembered as my “Aha” year ,the year that things began to finally make sense and Tarrin Hagan started to become who Tarrin Hagan should be.(About time most of you would say)
So as 2013 comes to a close, I have never been more excited to bring in a new year and some of you may know why. I can’t wait to find out what 2014 has in store for me. Whatever it is, my excitement comes from knowing that 'The Best is yet to come'....and 'What must be will be'.
This past year taught me who I am. It definitely has highlighted my strengths and identified my weaknesses but I sure am a better person because of it all and I wouldn't change my 2013 for anything. I regret nothing!
This year, on New Years Eve as I raise my glass, my toast will be simple. "Here’s to the end of a good year and here’s to the beginning of an even better year, with so much in store for me and here’s to always moving forward in life."
Life is far too short, it is meant to be lived forward ;)
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE
Love Miss Hagan
