2010

Well, it's 2010!

A time for reflection and resolutions. I usually make ten, and this year was no different... Here are mine:

-Learn (or try) something new.

-Do 100 sets a day, as possible, until volleyball starts.

-Finish reading the Bible.

-Be a crazy Christian.

-Enjoy life more.

-Become a reader again.

-Dance more (learn to dance?).

-Be fearless.

-Memorize something for me.

(You may notice that's only nine... Well, I'm simply not going to write the tenth on here. I don't want the whole world to know.)

This year I did a little something new. I took my list of resolutions from last year and on the back I wrote stuff. A lot of stuff. All my regrets and hurts from last year; all the stuff I wanted to leave in 2009. I then took that list and burned it... Then scattered the ashes outside. All the while I said a quiet prayer. (All a risky business for someone as clumsy as I am! Don't worry though, I didn't burn the house down like I thought I would.) 2009 is gone and all the hurts with it. This year is a new year and a chance for a new me... A chance I'm going to try to take.

Last year I accomplished 70% of my goals (7 out of 10). This year I hope to accomplish them all, but my goal is at least 80%. Yes, I am weird enough to have two goals: a realistic one and a dreamy one. ha ha

Some of my hopes for the coming year might seem silly to others, but to me they all make sense. Which is all that matters. I don't care if other people don't understand them; I understand every word and that's all that matters. After all, they are my resolutions, not someone else's.

So, here's to a hopeful and prospective 2010. I hope that it's much better than last year... Carrying all the good moments I hope for and now with a new me, an improved me. This is looking good.

So, as a new year begins, my heart is happy and light. I'm satisfied. Things are renewed between me and God and I have a lot of joy going on. I love this feeling... I hope I love the year just as much.
