It is a new year...a time to make resolutions, plans, promises to self that will surely increase the possibilities of 2007. Everyone does it, even those who do not try to still gain some small sense of optimism with the coming of a new year. I usually reflect around this time of year, on my accomplishments and otherwise from the previous 365 of life...the ups and downs, trials and tribulations and at times the breakthroughs. It was definitely one of tremendous growth. Comparitively speaking, one can argue that all years of life have growth within them, but I think when you face certain trials the growth that occurs is different. In other words, when the challenges that come about are foreign to say the least, then your response to those challenges forces you to develop in ways that would not have occurred had the challenge not been as it was...and thus, growth is different; at times more intense, painful-tremendous.
It is also funny to look at how different one year is to the next, even the way that the year is brought in. In this new year, I had a party at my home...a home I had just moved into last year-no furniture or anything then-and the party brought many people together that may have never even met otherwise, and it was cool. I must say that I enjoyed myself more than I ever have before and that was a good way to begin my year-with people I love, trust, and respect. Hopefully, all the relationships in the room that night will grow into lasting friendships...who knows what the year holds for us all. I know that I need to make some decisions on my future in 2007, real decisions.
Not necessarily about where I live, who I am dating or anything like that...but just where I am going in life and what is it that I wish to do with my life. It is like my course has changed...the plan I set forth initially-well, about three or four years ago has to be, how shall I say this, revised I guess. My life, well, I am just unsure about the direction that it is going into. The beautiful thing is I say this in regards to how do I wish to really enjoy my life, give back to the community and make a difference all at the same time. I mean it is not as if my life is negative now, just not as fulfilling as I one day hope it will be. Therefore the beauty lies in the possibility this new year brings...and the possibility that a firm belief in God reaffirms within my spirit.
