new year new thought

this year has started with craziness, not a moment for me to sit down with my new years resolution plan that is usually not completely finished anyway. with all that is going on, i feel like i rather just reflect on who i am and what i am doing here.

i am so grateful for the friends that i have by my side through the tough times and simply by just lending a listening ear when i can't stop ranting or laughing. you make the fun times fun. the happiness shared is my reason for waking up each day (and you know how hard that is sometimes). when emotions hit me hard like a bumper car from behind in whirlyball, i can't help but feel unworthy of your patience and your constant appreciation for the good i do despite my wrongdoings.

sometimes we don't stop to think about how lucky we are to have the life we live. little complaints and excuses that we insist are the obstacles to our goals are just filler words in our everyday conversations. i realize that if you want it bad enough, you might not necessarily get the exact end results, but you won't have to shield behind the status of no progress. don't say why you can't, just say what you are doing about it. and, you dont have to know exactly what you want, but how will you ever know without making an effort to find out?

i am actually pretty excited for this year. yeah another year older, but this time, hopefully i will be wiser, too. cheers to 2009, here's to an optimistic outlook... don't let me down!
