A New Year
So this post is a little bit late. Most of my posts are. I’m glad 2008 is over. Not that I tend to believe a New Year will change anything. This isn’t a statement about hope or anything, but personally, I tend to stay away from resolutions. I think of them as presents. I’m the type of person who likes to give presents when I feel like giving them, as opposed to waiting for a birthday or christmas. That being said, with the New Year, I have more time and am trying to get back to the gym. Coincidental I tell you.
So there are a few things I’m excited for in 2009:
President Obama…. I’m daring to hope that one man really can make a difference.
The Messina Perdue wedding…. A really really exciting and fun wake up call that says “Patti you are all grown up, no do something with your life”
And a few things I’m not so excited about…
It seems every year we make new friends and every year we lose some. They move to far away and go from someone you see every day to someone you never talk to. I know that a lot of people who have grown close to me last year will be going far away this year. The first being Rob, who has already left for Afganistan. The next being Miah, who leaves for the Air Force in February. Not all will be such complete or military-caused partings. But I know there is a great chance that Leigh, Megan and Jason, Wenxiao, Nova…. so many people who I look forward to seeing every day won’t be around.
Take it one day at a time right? That’s how I’ve been living for awhile now. Probably since this whole surgery thing came about and I realized sometimes planning doesn’t work out. Or even before that, with Kim and Ethan, and how wonderful that was. And that’s also how I think I really fell for Josh, the special circumstance of completely living in the moment. A lot of things to be grateful for.
And a resolution that I said I wouldn’t make, but am going to. In 2009 I hope to write more.
