I am lucky that it's 2011
I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be awesome.
Mostly because I'm not sure if I can go through another roller coaster ride like 2010.
A whole decade has flew by. We're now in the beginning of the teens of the new millennium/century.
I took some time today (despite the sore, teary right eye) to look at my new year entries.
I always couldn't wait for the new year to start because I really wanted to get rid of the old one.
This year feels different. Because I don't really want to get rid of the old year.
I am truly thankful for 2010. And to think about it, I am thankful for all the years that I've been on this earth.
As much as I disliked a lot of them, I love all of them.
