2011 is here. While I thoroughly enjoyed 2010, I love the notion of a new year, a new start, looking at potential, setting goals, and evaluating past failures and celebrating the success. It is all very refreshing for me. And while sometimes I think my goals are unrealistic (i.e. how a new shelf or decision will change my whole life, like this is the one thing I have been missing), I do like to think any goal can be a catalyst for change, large or small. Now I must figure out the path, plan the steps, prepare for obstacles and set forth. Each year I strive to be a better person than I was the year before. And although I may stumble at times (and yell at my husband for not putting his things away), I will get up and keep moving forward.
So 2011, you are going to be even better than 2010. We are going to laugh more, love more, enjoy what we have more, be thankful for the people in our lives, smile often, sing loudly (when no one is listening), and help others. Every year forward is made to be as good or better than the last. This is my goal (along with a few of the other less than altruistic ones). Happy New Year!
