This is something I do that I haven't had the opportunity to share with many people. Writing down my peaks, pits, praises, and prayers is something I like to do at the end of each day (if I remember and/or have the time). My favorite type of journaling is very much straightforward and to the point; no yammering on for pages after pages. It's just too time consuming and with a busy life, I struggle to find the point in that.
Anyways, I digress.
I decided to share with you some of my peaks, pits, praises, and prayers for my 2014. Please note that this is obviously not my entire list, seeing as I do like to keep some things personal.

2014 has been a turning point in my life. That is absolutely certain. I am still struggling to heal and learn from everything that has happened this year. Sorry, if this post was a little sappy. Looking back is something that I cannot do with a dry eye.
What was your 2014 like?
