My Resolutions for 2010

I know that in the month of December, I probably come up with over one hundred things that I am going to change in the new year. The week before Jan 1st is always a struggle because I think that the magical moment at 12 am that rings in the new year will change my life. Yet the reality that we hear every day is that we are in charge of these changes. Besides the small things I intend to do: save enough money to travel to Italy in 2011, eat less processed foods, and learn how to cook a new recipe per season, I have found there are bigger things I want to do. This is a year of major changes with the approaching end to my college career. I plan on increasing my grades, getting an internship within the year, and creating plans B and C if Plan A doesn't work out (which of course is still to be determined). The biggest resolution I have is to respect myself more. This will be done by working much harder in school, taking care of myself, letting go of people and things that don't make my life better, and embracing all the passions I have such as writing, photography, and singing. I could not have been blessed more with a better family or friends, no matter how scattered we all are across the map. These changes are all changes I will make. Starting right now. As one wise soul once said, "You gotta stop putting your wishbone where your backbone oughta be" -anonymous-

Happy 2010
