ringing in the new

i've decided that my outlook for 2008 wasn't wrong, but that the year brought forth many changes.

i've been in situations i never dreamed of being in.

broken hearted.

healing.

single.

dating.

teaching.

loneliness.

inner peace.

(i might still be searching for the above..)

i'm doing my best to learn to stay calm. relaxed. de-stressed. i've heard this is my most endearing state.

here's to 2009; may i find myself doing these things over and over again.

sip (sirotez)

talk (parlez)

write (ecrivez)

read (lisez)

eat (mangez)

listen (ecoutez)

be (vivez)

i'm working on just being me. in my most modest, unique, individualistic form. i hope to be brave and strong in everything i encounter. i hope to build and maintain strong, open relationships with those that i love and trust around me. i hope to find myself dealing with my past to create my future into a more peaceful one. i plan to speak the truth and to follow the Word. but most of all...

i will just be.
