Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Much to my surprise this year has come and gone, 2008 has slowly faded to an end and the new year is here. What can I say about 2008? It was a year of learning lessons, failing miserably, rising to the bar and learning to love again. Finding time to myself, overcoming obstacles but ultimately trusting in God when some things crumble. Even after times of redefining myself, I fall back into a painful reality; it's hard. Hard to live a life of perfection, you can't but time after time I tweak here and move this way and ultimately land in a place where God wants me to be.

I don't want to make New Year's Resolutions I will not keep or say things I can't live up to but rather I want to commit my new year to being a better me. Loving more and keeping a positive attitude. Moving on from the bucket and aiming for that thimble *it's a story someone from school told me.

There was a time in my life where I loved people too much and trusted them even more; that is the place where I want to be. Not that I want to be that person again because there has been so much growth there but I want that light again, that spark of life and love and that is my realization for the New Year.

I have spent time being exhausted and run down the past few months losing sight of my personal priorities so in all those realizations I am going to go for some R's Realizations, Rejuvenation, Reinvention, Relaxation. Enjoy Redefining for 2009!
