gaah! its the new year again!! how did this happen? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!

ok i should stop being so drama lol! it does seem all so sudden and waaaay too fast though..

well, a whole load of people always say “oh if your year started out bad, it’ll end bad” or for the optimistic “ahh your year started out bad so it’ll end super great!”..

you’re ALL wrong.

our years each start out uniquely fashioned to our choices through out the year prior. i know i myself gripe about how my year always starts out bad and ends bad. but that’s just me being drama and wanting some love although sometimes it does start out less ideal than i would have hoped for. and even then, even when it isnt as ideal as anyone would have hoped for, we can still make the conscious decision to make it good.

i just had a thought on Christmas eve, in the bathroom, where i always get my ideas.
it occurred to me that our bad years, all our downs, are suppose to be good and we should celebrate more that our year had more bads than goods because it is in and through those bad moments that we learn and mold and change. isnt that something to be celebrated? i suppose we as humans sometimes over look that and its always easier said than done.

i have to admit that i myself at times forget that all the trials and tribulations i’m in is cause for gratefulness. i do tend to see the bad in things before knocking sense into myself that it is actually good for me.

so, if your year end isnt turning out to be what you’ve hoped for, i’d say, take a moment to calm your thoughts and heart. a quiet new year isnt a bad thing. besides, there are millions upon millions of people and children out there having a worser time than us yet being more happy and grateful. thats embarrassing.
if you’re a wine person (or whatever your vice is), get yourself a glass of wine and a nice movie or music cd, snuggle into your couch, and have yourself a simple, quiet new year because you sure do need all your strength and energy for the coming year ahead!

i am personally looking forward to the new year even though i’ve completely no idea whats in-stored. and when i say i have completely no idea, i mean i COMPLETELY have no idea but i am more than determined to make it great so that 2012 will be even better! *fingers crossed*

my goals for this year:

1) finish my book (shhhh… yes i’m writing myself one lol!)
2) inspire more people to dream, believe, learn, do and be better so that they may in turn inspire others in the similar capacity
3) finish plans on my epic journey to SA and hopefully launch it :)
4) be happy

i generally reserve my goals for my bday.. but i suppose i can always renew and add some in mid way lol!

wishful thinking:
1) that a billion and more less fortunate children out there may lead a better life thanks to the many volunteers who’ve given up their time and lives for the betterment of the people/future
2) to travel more for charity!
3) to be back in Africa
4) have always wanted a necklace which i never have to take off. hope i get the necklace of my dreams this year (its somewhere on this blog.. shameless i know hehe!)

so, have a lovely new year :)
