A new year approaches. A brand new, never before seen 365 days, maybe even 366. All untouched, all awaiting their turn to have the stories of 6 billion people written on them. All hoping to be a remembered day in history. The sun has set on this year, a year of change. For me, 2007 has been a year of learning, of growing, and of trials. A year that, as of now, I'm not particularly fond of. Often change brings discomfort, like wet jeans, or braces. But I hope to look back on this year and see the good in it someday.
A new year approaches, a fresh beginning, or at least we tell ourselves that. However unless we're all switching families and friend circles, unless we're all trading up our places on the globe, I think we've kind of got to work with what we've got. So then maybe we're not starting over, maybe the changes will be small, maybe they'll have bigger ramifications, maybe there will be little change at all.
Whatever awaits in the new year, I hope to find the blessings in disguise. To appreciate the coincidences that aren't actually coincidences. I'll find humility in defeat, learn from making mistakes, love more after heartache and empathize with others through my suffering. So I'll keep my head towards the sunshine, I won't hide my tears in the rain. I'll embrace every moment with optimism, inhale deeply, and never stop.
