gotta get that new new

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

2010 is upon us, and i for one am inspired to start anew. new goals, new experiences, new perspective, new me.... well rejuvenated me. i will strive to draw closer to the person The Lord would like me to be, and closer the person i know that i can be. elbow grease will be required... i have so many great ideas, and i think that i'm ready to finally start making them happen. i have dreams that i would like to see realized. lets hope that i will.

i look back at 2009 as a time of growth. i would not be so confident about myself in 2010 otherwise. ya maybe i didn't do as much as i would have liked, and ya there's some things that i still need to work on, but i feel as though i'm finally ready to do those things- to be a better person, a better friend, a better student. to be better to people and to be better to myself. i don't think i give myself enough credit, and that has a lot to do with my self doubt, and my negative self image. but i think that as i grow, those will both slowly disappear. how can i do anything that i want to do with those things hanging over my head?

i know that the Lord has so much in store for me, and i know that i can be worthy of those things. more elbow grease will be needed, but i can do it. i'm like that little engine that could. i think i can, i think i can, i think i can... you know?

i'm excited to see how school goes. i'm taking all these boring classes, like economics, and marketing, and yet i could not be more excited for them. i know that its what i need to be doing, and i'm finally ready to do it... i guess i just needed to finally realize it.

bumbumbum.... that was a little tune while i think about what to say haha

uh... i've got nothing else, as its 4:41 and i'm not firing on all cylinders at the moment. so i'll leave you with my blessings to you all- may the Lord bless you in everything that you do, and may you keep Him in mind as you go about your days. i know that we focus on living like Christ a lot during this time of year, but i challenge you all to live by His example throughout the year, and throughout your life. it is something i'm working towards, and honestly, it would just make the world such a greater place if everyone lived like that. i know religion isn't for everyone, but so much good can come from living by the principles taught within the scriptures. so do it, even if you don't want to. you'll find yourself slowly wanting to, as time goes on, and you'll find that you're leading a much happier life.

so i leave this year behind, and welcome the new year and a bright future with all of you. there's a sun shining, and i can feel it's rays.

God bless this mess.
