2008

2008 is quickly coming to an end and it's time to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. Every new year I make resolutions that don't usually last longer than about 3 months. As I have been thinking about this past year, I'm reminded of the things I wish I had made time for or the things I shouldn't have spent time on at all. Of course there are still the smaller goals I will have throughout the year...but they sort of all fall under one category: no regrets. I think it's time that I put my whole heart into everything I do. I don't want to go throughout this life and ever have anyone question whether or not I was thankful for something they did or to question my feelings for them. Life is short and there are so many things that are uncertain. It's time for me to not let my fears get in the way of the things that are important. It's time to take some risks and to live my life to the fullest. I have met some amazing people this past year. Some of them have left a permanent impression on my life. I have learned so much from these people. There are some people I carried over into 2008 from previous years. How thankful I am for them and their constant friendship and love. I am sure that this next year will have its trials waiting for us all so that we may continue to grow. I pray that I will be able to carry all of my friends and family with me into 2009. Know that I am thankful for you. Know that I love you. Know that no matter what we can get through it. Know that I am here and that you can lean on me when you need it.
Let's make 2009 a great year:)
