sunday scribblings.

prompt #92: new or new year.

this past week, i have been reading a lot about new year's resolutions and goal setting and all those things that go along with the first couple of weeks of january.

in my reading (typically known as blog-stalking) i found a post about bidding farewell to 2007 and moving into 2008 with a fresh start and nothing holding you back. i decided that is going to be my goal for 2008. i am going say goodbye to 2007 (and all the previous years i am holding on to) and i am going to embrace 2008 with my whole heart and mind.

i can set all kinds of goals and say that i am going to do this or do that, but i am just going to make 2008 my year. i am going to do the things i want to do with no timeline or deadline. i am going to do all the things that will make me happy. and i am going to be okay when things don't go just how i hoped they would go, or just how i had them planned in my mind.

there are many things that i hope to achieve this year, but instead of making a huge list of these things to cross off, i will make a list of the things i do or accomplish. at the end of the year, i hope to have a list of memories and accomplishments that bring me joy and happiness. and i will be thankful that i don't have a list of things i didn't accomplish.

so, i am embracing the new. and the new year.

and saying goodbye to 2007.

let's go 2008. my year.
