Here's To...Everything

They say that the way you meet the new year is the way you'll spend it. Well, this means that I will spend the year full of anticipation, excitement and with a smile on my face. That I will be glad of all the people around me and thankful for all of the lessons I've learned. That I will move forward from the past and embrace change in the future. And perhaps most importantly, that I will never lose hope, never give up, never let the world drag me down. Here's to the new year: 2010. Let's make it the beginning of something wonderful!

Certainly that is an exaggerated vision for how the year will turn out. Of course I won't be perfectly happy or eternally grateful and optimistic. But this is how I start out the year, and that is how I plan to continue it...at least to the best of my ability. I don't doubt that this year will be no less full of ups and downs than the last one. Only this time, I'm going to do things differently.

I'll make this brief, since it's early in the morning and everyone around me has gone to bed. But right now, as of this day, I'm starting fresh. It's a clean slate. All of the mistakes I've made before haven't disappeared, nor has their effect on my life, but I am moving past them. From today on, things change. Perhaps the coming of a new year doesn't really mean anything but is merely the arbitrary definition of time passing before us, but that doesn't mean that I can't take it and use it in my life. Here's to a new beginning. Happy New Year!
