new beginnings repeating all over again..

currently listening to:when it was over/sara groves.

a fresh start: that's what everyone gets when a new year arrives.

we are given the opportunity to start over.. psychologically, at least. we make resolutions that we intend to keep, we make dreams and goals we wish to accomplish within a 12-month period. we clean out our rooms and desks, and try to rid ourselves of any trash and excess baggage we may have lying around.

the funny thing is that we can do all these things--make resolutions, make new goals, clean our rooms--absolutely any day of any month we wish. it's just that having a brand new calendar to write in gives you the opportunity to forget about all the mess you made the year before, and start off with a fresh page... with all that beautiful white space, you just HAVE to get out your best pen and write in your best penmanship, if you know what i mean. when the new year arrives, we like to think we start with a clean slate.

i WILL make personal resolutions for the year 2007, but i will do them *secretly* (mainly because i haven't yet had enough time to sit down and think about what i want to achieve this year. so one resolution, at the very least, is to come up with time to do that!). i am VERY proud to share with you, however, that i have kept a LOT of my resolutions for the year 2006. no, i did not keep all, but i kept enough to surprise even myself :).

but if the first few hours of the year are any indication as to how the rest of the year is going to be, then it's definitely going to be a GREAT year. as early as the second day of 2007, a great amount of great things are in store for me and my loved ones. it will definitely be a kickass, fantabulous 2007.

here's to love and laughter for everyone! cheers! :)
