As this year comes to a close, it makes one sit back and reflect what's happened in the previous year. This theme seems to be prevalent throughout the scrapbooking world right now. My
December Art Journal Challenge is along these lines and of course Tangie Baxter's Art Journal Caravan has a similar vibe to it. I perused my art journal pages from this past year and was surprised that I actually had 25 of them, since I thought that I had barely gotten any done. They all had a similar theme to them, strength and survival. So here is my reflection page on this past year. Thanks for looking.

{journaling} "Strength? Well, I’ve certainly had that, as I’m still here to testify what a crazy, whirlwind, insane, year this has been and I’ve survived it. I’ve done so many things, but also, done nothing. I’m almost embarrassed by my pages from this year.
Have I grown as a person? Maybe, but I don’t know. The diet’s have come and gone with no change. The men have come and gone, and yes, there is yet another in my life. The depression is still prevalent in my life and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, but at least it’s not as severe as it once was. My health has gotten worse.
What have I done this year? Well, I had strength to survive. And in the end, isn’t that what we all want to do, survive?"
