New Year's Resolution



I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions. For the most part, they're just obligatory soon-to-be-forgotten goals made at the start of a new year. What makes those goals so much more special than others? Because it's a fresh start. Usually my "resolutions" are made up of something cynical.

However, cynical isn't going to work for me this year. The year that lies ahead promises that there are difficult and trying times. It warns of change, good and bad. It's the ending of an era. The ending of lots of things. But mostly, it's offering a new beginning, and not just to me, but all those around me.

To Matt...I hope he finds what he is looking for.

To Brenna...I hope you see you the way God sees you.

To Mom & Dad...may our friendship continue to grow.

To Kristin...may you find peace in the present.

To Leah...comfort in your new future.

To all my friends....that you LIVE every moment you are given.

And to myself....I make a new resolution I hope to keep....

To be healthy and happy in this new year that God has given me.
