New Year Awakening

Well, here we are in 2008. Somehow it's hard for me to believe that 2007 is already in the past. You see, I love the Christmas season and all that it brings. So, with the new year comes the task of packing away Christmas decorations and embarking on an unknown new year. It's a wonderful awakening in many ways as I begin fresh with new commitments and new optimism. However, I am not one for making resolutions. Never have been. I tend to just glide through the year occassionally making new resolves maybe for eating healthier, exercising more often, becoming more patient or trying harder to be a better person. Somehow after making these new resolves I am reminded of even more things I could work on harder and tend to get discouraged. So, I just work on being the best person I can be and do what I can for today. You know why? Because tomorrow will come with its own challenges and I will find plenty of other things I need to work on. I don't mind though since each day, each year is a journey. A time of growth and change. Neither is always easy, but both can be very rewarding.
