I feel like if I tell you my "New Years Resolutions" they won't come true. Kinda like the treats you got as a kid for telling your birthday wish after you blew out all your single digit candles. I think I want to keep these locked up tightly and smile at them once in awhile and celebrate with everyone when they are accomplished. I'm not trying to tease anyone. At the same time, I like not getting mine or anyone's hopes up by ruining it.

Happy New Year everyone! 2009 - you were a hell of a year. New houses, new friends, new pets, and new reasons to smile. You balanced yourself with equally challenging and rough times but balance is necessary to avoid utopia and contentment.

If I had any expectations for you 2010 it would be to give me many reasons to write in this little blog everyday, let me notice the small victories more, introduce me to new experiences, challenge me to become the person I want to be and in doing so help me discover myself even more-so than I already have. I already know this year is going to be tough. 2009 has set me up for some trying moments - but I also know the years before that have given me friends and a strengthen family to pick me up and hold my hand.

Alright time to take a deep breath! Time to be bold and jump into the cold water!
