A New Year's Entry
It was about 8 AM and I hadn't slept yet. I told myself I would watch the sun rise one morning during Christmas break and today (Monday, January 2nd) was the day I did it. I stayed up the whole night (12 am- 8:10 AM)talking to my friend online (thank you for the awesome conversation by the way!), looking out my window, watching the sky change colors, and thinking about life in general.
The year 2005 is over. Many changes took place. I changed, my friends have changed, my family has changed, and things will never ever be the same. A lot of good things happened but bad things happened also. I graduated high school (finally!), am going to college, and the next chapter of my life has just begun. 2005 could have been better and it could have been MUCH worse. But the year is over and it's time to move on.
2006 has started and I have high hopes for the new year. I want to change as a person (mentally and physically). There is something refreshing about a new year begining. It's like a book waiting to be written and i have 365 days to make it worth reading. Physically, I want to change a bit. I'm not talking about "oh my GAWD! I need to lose weight!". But i'm saying that i want to exercise much more and try to eat healthier. For my sake, this will make me feel better all around. I'll become more confident and it might encourage my parents to keep eating healthy also. If they are healthy, I'll be happy.
There is one saying that keeps popping in my head. I think (much like the yearly "themes" we had at Regina), I'll keep referring back to it and base my new years "resolution" off of it. LET GO AND LET GOD. I seriously need to stop, take a breather, and realize that there are alot of aspects in my life that I can't know the outcome to yet. Although, I can control some of the things that happen in my life, things will happen when and how they are supposed to happen. I have to trust that things will work out in the end. I need to not rush things so much. Things that are rushed hardly ever work out so I need to learn patience. Sometimes people spend too much time worrying about who they are going to end up with, what they are going to do for a living, and how long it's going to take them to get there. I stand accused although I wish I didn't. I'll know these things when I'm supposed to know them and all I can do is try hard, never sell myself short, and enjoy being the age that I am while I can.
I'm hoping the new year will bring good opportunities and good memories. I'm ready for a new semester, my 19th birthday, new experiences with friends, more good memories and trying times with my family, and room for all of the changes that life has to throw at me. It's a little exciting, a little scary, but it's my year and I'm gonna make it good.
