A year can go so quick

What a difference a year makes. I just finished the Doctrine and Covenants and was going to start the Book of Mormon in Spanish, and I realized that I finished it in Spanish last December. I can hardly remember last Christmas, so much has happened in just eleven months.
I started and finished my last semester of college, wrote my capstone paper, graduated, worked a lot of hours at Magleby's, went to LA to see Kim and Bryon (Kim was barely preggers), flew to D.C. to see Karl Conni and family, spent some time in Portland with Nick and Lis and their families, went to a family reunion on the Oregon Coast, packed up my things and headed out to San Fran all on my lonesome, started law school, lived with the Blodgies for two months, moved into a new place, and here I am finishing my last week of classes for my first semester. Boy howdy, that's just the quick recap. A year can really go fast.
To go along with these sentiments I'll share part of a poem I've been working on. If you don't like it read it sometime when you're feeling melancholy late at night, that's when I like it best.

How frail is memory,
how fleeting it's remarks,
What today is crystal clear
is tomorrow's broken parts.

Joy is only half remembered,
Sorrow's half forgotten,
victory happened twice as much,
and losses half as often.

Some forget and laughing say,
to live each day anew.
While others hold to petty hurts
whose bitter tastes they chew.

So choose this day whether mem'ry will
be for you a help or hindrance,
a light to guide your waking hours,
or a self-inflicted penance.
