A New Beginning

It's a new year... 2010. And I could say that it's a whole new me, but it's not a whole new me. I'm still myself and I'm not planning on morphing into an entirely different person. What I do plan to do, however, is to try and place more emphasis on the good, to elaborate on the little, important, and meaningful things in life. There's all the normal resolutions like get in shape, eat healthier, do better in school, etc. I have more than that though. I want to get my priorities in order. I want to not worry so much. I want to mend relationships that I have damaged. I want to show the people I care instead of just assuming. I want to save my money. I guess, in the words of someone close to me, my ultimate goal is to show and act like an adult. That sounds pretty silly I guess but there's not really anything else that seems to fit. I'm excited about this year. I'm excited to see where things go this year. I'm excited to better myself and place emphasis on the good. I'm thankful for a wonderful family. I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful that I am blessed enough to attend the university I do. I am thankful to be with such an amazing man. So far, this year, and, at the risk of sounding too optimistic, this decade, has started off on a good note.
