I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, most of the time, that's not such a good thing. But I think it has been this time. If this sounds emo at all, I honestly don't mean it to. Being that it is a new year, I made a decision about how I'm gonna live my life this year. Some might call this a "New Years resolution", but I don't want to call it that, because I never keep those...and I fully intend to see this through. Anyhow, back to what I was thinking about. I thought back on last year, and all of the really crappy stuff that I went through. Three people whom I love dearly passed away, several of my friendships were put through a rough patch(or rough patches in some cases), and I even lost some friends. But what amazes me, and makes me smile is that I survived. I'm not any crazier than I have been for years, some of my friendships are stronger now than they were before, and I know that my brother and grandparents are in a far better place, spending eternity with Jesus(that is an amazing thought to me, btw). I got to spend a week with my family on vacation at the "happiest place on earth", and we had a blast! Last year also held a lot of firsts for me, and for the most part, I look back on those memories with a smile. I mean, crying on my first big roller coaster, probably not the coolest way to do it, but hey, at least I did it. ;)
That thought brings me to the decision I made for this year. There have been many times when I let the sad things in my life(even though they weren't as big as I sometimes made them out to be) keep me from being truly happy. I've been in situations when I forced a smile and put on my "happy face". But not anymore. I'm not going to let the little things in life make me sad. And I'm not going to let petty fears and insecurities stop me from enjoying life and taking risks. There are so many good things around me, and I'm gonna take the time and appreciate them all. I know that everything I just typed seemed like rambling, but it kinda feels good to get it off my chest. So, yeah, those are my thoughts on this upcoming year, and I for one, am ready for whatever comes my way. I truly believe good things are gonna happen.(*insert cheesy inspirational music here*)
Ok, enough with the sappy stuff. Classes start today, and my first one went smashingly! I was only in there for about a minute, then we were dismissed. How much does that rock? It gave me a chance to go shopping, so yay! Lets hope my next class is as brief, lol. I'm super excited about the Chrysalis flight next weekend. People are gonna be there that I haven't seen in flippin' FOREVER, and its gonna be great. And the weekend after that I get to go to Charlotte to watch the munchkins. And I'm hoping to get to see a certain boy before he leaves for the Army, so keep your fingers crossed that it will work out!
Anyhow, gotta leave for class, leave love because it makes me oh so happy!!
