It just may work...

Most of my time and energy I spend at work. This also happens to be where most of my ideas and creations happen as well. I realize that this is the situation with most Americans, and humans in general that work in order to Live, or Live in order to work. We waste away our lives working regardless of the situation. I've come to the realization that even though I feel pretty good about my life, and I'm sure that I am luckier than most to even have a stable job, I can't help but feel the need to start spreading my wings again. Life has delt me some nasty cards this past year that I have folded on time and time again, I've even found myself completely beaten, sitting out more than a few rounds. And now, I'm done giving in and quiting. While I am more that sure that I wont go back and pick up those hands that I tossed away, I will however, make changes in my life that I can feel good about. Unfortunately, I'm not at a place in my life where I can boldly quit my job and live life the way we can only dream about. In addition to the limitation of funds, I just don't think that I aquire the balls in order to pick up and leave even if I did have the means of staying afloat. I've got some long-term goals rolling around in my brain that require me to save and not be crazy and haphazzard and quit my stability. I'll blame that on the fact that I'm a Capricorn, and I fully believe in all the mumbo-jumbo that we Capricorns are all about determination and stability.

So with that being said, I have made my New Years Resolution. It may turn out just like every other one of my resolutions that are forgotten about after about 4 months, and tossed recklessly to the side, but even those 4 months could change me for the better. So how could I not give a resolution another go?

So here it is:
Every single day, or shall I say, HOPEFULLY every single day, I will make an attempt to try something new. My key word is : NEW
Whether it be looking at a new website, going into a new store, making a new friend, renewing an old friendship, going somewhere for a mini vacation thats new to me, saying yes when I would normally tell Kelly no (that would be a new one as well... hahahahahaa!!..) whatever... I'm sure I'll find ways to twist my upheld word to work in my benefit, especially since I'll have to come up with something every day for 365 days... and most important, I've decided to keep a blog on it. I'm sure that after awhile, it'll get boring, I'll use anything to call "new" (desperate times call for desperate measures) and I know for sure that my writing is definitely not as witty and hilarious as others, but hey, I can spell pretty well and type like a banchi.. and I'm pretty sure that at the very least, my Mom and Dad will be my main subscribers as they always have been in my life, and it will at least give them a way to keep up with my life every day instead of waiting to hear from me by telephone. And since I hate to be on the phone at any time, it'll make up for all the time in-between the phone calls from me. ( I'm terrible at keeping in touch with anyone)

I'm more than sure that magazines like Sunset will help me along the way (thanks dad), but if you have any ideas at all, send them. I will more than likely not be able to come up with 365 NEW things on my own. And of course, the cheaper the better.....

So, Here's to a new chapter in life! May we all feel refreshed and begin another decade forgetting the slightly horrid past, and remembering along the way that we are responsible for making changes necessary to be happier in our own lives..

~Adios 2009, and Happy New Year 2010!
