I don't remember if I made specific resolutions for last year but I'm sure that if I did they would have been something like this: 1) Just make it through the year, 2) Exercise, 3) Eat healthier. If we count success for the year only by a number of accomplished resolutions, then 2007 would have been a smashing success. However, I don't think that is a very good measurement. I feel like the past year was the worst of my life, right up there with 2006. It has been a really rough couple years for me but I'm hoping that 2008 is the year to finally turn it around.
Starting out last year I had a great job, a beautiful new house, wonderful friends , family a long way away, and a lot of opportunities. By the middle of the year I was unemployed, homeless, close to only a few friends but back with my family. At the end of the year I had another good job, a loving place to live with my grandmother, still the same beautiful house but now it's vacant and sad, a few new friends, and a couple really old friends. Throughout it all I have had the strength of the Lord to keep me fighting for health and stability. I can honestly say that I would not be here if it weren't for my faith in God and the many, many prayers of my friends and family.
In 2008 I am looking forward to continued improvement in my health and more stability in my life. I think (and hope) that this will be another year of transitions and new experiences which I am really looking forward to. Since I got sick almost 3 years ago I feel like I have been stuck in a rut. This is the year that I want to break out and try new things. I am determined to rise above my circumstances and be a more positive person. So, without further ado, here are my resolutions for 2008.
1) Read the Bible everyday, 2)Be positive in all circumstances, 3) Try new experiences, 4) Exercise, 5) Eat healthy, 6) Make more friends, 7) Be open to the possibility of love
