2008 kick off
Here we are... it's January 1, 2008. The very first day of a new year has begun, and the closing of 2007 has happen. It's gone. It has finally finished. And I can't tell you how happy I am. Yet, I feel absolutely no difference. It's not like there was a huge transformation that took place, magically, at midnight. But, I started out my new year, standing outside, looking up at the stars, while all my friends were indoors, toasting, hugging, kissing, whatever... and I was alone. It was just me, and the universe. It felt strange, yet, it felt right. That it should just be me... the lone ranger, by herself, sending up a prayer, into the heavens, for only my ears, and Gods. Starting off the year in an unselfish way, by praying that specific others would find the happiness that they are seeking for themselves, in many different ways. I truly want this year, for myself, to be about discovery of my inner being. I want to take a spiritual journey, delving into the depths of my character, and looking at who I really am, and what I desire, ultimately, for myself, in all ways. I want this to be a year of change, for me, from me, about me, and only me. I want to be selfish, in that sense, and just be me, for once, and be comfortable with that. I don't want to be caught up in any one's drama. I've had enough to last a lifetime. I pray for good health for myself... focusing on my body, mind, and spirit, and bringing the three together in harmony. I want to have that balance within myself. And only time, determination, and extremely hard work will see this brought to fruition. Can it happen? I pray so. For me, letting go of past hurts is going to be an essential part of this year. Looking at the root of the hurts, and being able to pull them out from within my soul, so that they can't continue to go any deeper, and stay there, living off of my life's essence. This year is a time for me to focus on the positive... and put up a wall to the negative. To try to do things differently... by not allowing those things that take my light away, and place me in such a way that all around me is nothing but darkness. I want the sun to shine upon me, and reflect, brightly, from within me, out to all who see me, and interact with me. I pray that this will be a year of discovery, and growth. That I can learn many new things... things that will alter me in ways that are evident to all around me. That I would be such a positive experience of happiness to those who are around me, that they can walk away with smiles, and memories of good things.
How about you? What are your challenges for 2008? Where will your focus lie... the one for yourself, and no one else? Will you rise to the calling that your soul is expressing to you? Can you hear your God knocking upon the door of your spirit and asking you to take a spiritual journey, opening up yourself to whatever lies ahead? Share with me, if you feel like it, because I would be interested in hearing what you've got to say.
Happy New Year. May it be filled with blessings upon you, in abundance.
