Another year!
Well.
I won't bother making any high-handed resolutions, any promises I know I'll eventually end up breaking. I don't know if I'll find my focus this year, or if I'll finally be able to let of my past and catch up with my present.
But I do know that I want to laugh more this year. Have fun more. Feel every moment more. LIVE. Not feel obligated so much anymore to do things I don't really want to do. Not get mad at stupid things anymore. Not get depressed so much, but realize that I have the power to change things. Feel my smile down inside, where it counts the most. Be positive. And be more true to myself.
It's funny, they say change is the only constant thing, and yet change is an illusion. And to think - it only takes a simple conscious thought - but dollops of will - to change a bad habit, embark on a new venture, change the way we see things. To me, the image of my father getting ready at like 5 in the morning every single day whether hot or cold in Zambia will always remain with me - he had/has it in him to follow up on every resolution, new years or otherwise.

Well, here's hoping this year I learn to be happier. And more satisfied.
Amen.
