2008 is coming to an end… I will do my best to stay away from cliché statements and it is not my intention to get over philosophical or deep… it has just been a long time since I've blogged and now is as good of a time as any.

Usually I do not have "new year's resolutions". There is no way you can get me to stop eating chocolate or fast food french fries. I am not going to join a gym. I am not going to church. I am not giving up alcohol lol and I will probably continue to flip flop with my smoking habit. However, there are a few things in my life… a few conundrums from 2008 that I would like to see resolved in 2009. I am not going to list them out --- lol I don't need random messages from you guys policing me hahaha. I know for a fact, I am not the only one who is stubborn and does not like being told what to do. I also know that sometimes when ideas or suggestions turn into obligations it easier to resist… kicking and screaming then to just…. "man up". I believe there comes a time when the whining, procrastinating and excuses don't cut it anymore and there is no other option but deal with the issue. Easier said than done (I know)— but I believe we all should be challenging ourselves to be a better, more improved version of ourselves.
I am a constant work in progress—trying to improve myself little by little. It has not necessarily been easy and sometimes I don't even feel like I am moving in the right direction. My life has been on quite the journey in these past 2 years. I have experienced so many emotions at so many levels—good and bad. In the midst of those varying emotions have been a few constants— my family & friends. It is because of you that I am still here. You unknowingly were the reasons for my smiles on my bad days. You have encouraged me to pursue what makes me happy. You have been there when I've needed you most. I hope on some level what I mean to you, is a reflection of what you mean to me. I hope for you and all those who read this in the coming year, an over abundance of love, happiness, good fortune and good times. I hope you continue to look for the silver lining, chase your dreams, and find your destiny while I do the same.
Happy New Year and Each Day Thereafter!!
